Regional datasets add the local detail that nationwide sources cannot provide. Availability varies by geography and workspace.

​
How We Add Regional Data

Ploti’s data pipeline can source and process datasets from counties, municipalities, agencies, and other providers. Once prepared, a dataset can become queryable, filterable, and available for cross-layer analysis. When you create a research request, the data-readiness check identifies relevant datasets already available to your workspace and calls out important gaps.

​
Example: Orange County, Florida

In Orange County, Florida, we have over 40 regional datasets available:
  • Zoning districts
  • Future Land Use (FLU)
  • Wetlands
  • Stormdrain structures
  • Utility service areas
  • School zones
  • Fire districts
  • And many more
This level of detail enables queries that would be impossible with national data alone. For example, finding parcels where the Future Land Use designation differs from current zoning requires both layers to be available and queryable.

​
Request a Dataset

If you’re working in an area and need specific regional data, create a request in Data Atlas. Include the geography, dataset you need, and any known agency, URL, fields, or shape details. The request enters an asynchronous sourcing and processing pipeline, so it may take time to complete.

Review current regional coverage in Data Atlas and describe the dataset you need, including its geography and useful source details.

Data Atlas shows the request timeline and, when several ingredients are needed, their component progress. A checkpoint available status means Ploti has released a useful current result while acquisition continues. You can inspect and use that result within its disclosed scope, but it is not the final dataset. Ready means completed fulfillment is available.

​
Review Current Coverage

Open Data Atlas in your workspace to review available datasets, coverage, requests, and processing status. The inventory can change as new data is sourced and existing data is refreshed.

​
How It Works

When you research an area with regional data, Ploti can make relevant layers available to the request and its map artifacts. The readiness result is the best place to confirm what can support a particular run. If you move outside a dataset’s coverage, it may no longer be available for analysis. Do not assume that a layer shown in one market applies to another.
