The grocery store you can walk to. The café around the corner. The restaurants a few minutes from your door. These are the details that decide whether a place fits your life, and they are exactly what most real estate sites leave out. We just refreshed the scores that capture them across the United States and Canada.

This update covers six amenity scores: Groceries, Cafés, Restaurants, Shopping, Daycares, and Nightlife. They now run on fresher data, more granular precision, and broader coverage, calculated for more than 2.6 billion locations across North America. That works out to 15.6 billion new score data points now live across our platform.

What changed in this update

We refreshed all six amenity Location Scores for every address in the US and Canada. The scores measure how much of everyday life is within reach of a given location, and this release makes that measure more current and more precise than ever.

The refresh reaches the whole footprint at once. Whether a location sits in downtown Toronto or a quiet stretch of rural Louisiana, its grocery, café, restaurant, shopping, daycare, and nightlife scores now reflect what is actually around it today.

Built on the freshest data and smarter routing

The new scores are built on current points of interest and the 2026 street network, so they account for the places and roads that exist now, including streets developed in the last few years.

Routing is sharper too. The calculations now handle highways, rivers, and forests with more care, so a score reflects how a person would really travel to a place rather than a straight line across a map. A café on the far side of a river is scored by the route someone would actually walk or drive, not the distance as the crow flies. The result is a score that lines up more closely with lived experience.

More precise, and truer to how people get around

Two improvements make the new scores easier to act on: finer resolution at the top of the scale, and descriptions that match how people in the US and Canada actually move through their day.

At the high end, the scores now carry more detail. Two neighborhoods that both look excellent can finally be told apart, so a dense, highly walkable area reads a little differently from one that is merely very good. For teams comparing locations or ranking results, that added definition matters.

We also realigned the language behind each score so it reflects real travel habits. A score now distinguishes clearly between what is within a few minutes’ walk and what is a short drive away, which is how most home consumers think about access in the first place. And coverage is broader: even in rural areas, an address returns a score that reflects its real access to amenities, so more of the map tells a complete story.

Where you will see the updated scores

The new amenity scores are live now across the product suite: the Location Scores API, the Local Content SDK, and Neighborhood Reports. Any listing and neighborhood experiences built on these scores are already drawing on the refreshed data.

This release focused on amenities, the scores most shaped by the places around a location. Neighborhood-level amenity scores are being recalculated from these new values and will follow in the coming weeks.

Built to stay fresh

Fresh data is only useful if it keeps coming. This update runs on a refresh process designed to bring amenity scores up to date on a regular basis, so the places people can reach are reflected as cities grow and change. Expect the scores to keep getting more current over time.
