Street-level site selection · all of South Yorkshire

Where should your business open?

Answer the questionnaire below first: ticket, format, hours, audience. The map and the top-20 table update live as you answer, scoring 158 Sheffield street segments plus every recorded commercial unit against your concept, with an estimated monthly revenue for each. Every figure is labelled: observed at that street, area context, or modelled.

Start with your concept ↓

Step 1 · Start here

Define your concept

Pick one of the 68 presets or start from scratch, then change anything. The map and the top-20 table update live with every answer.

Step 2

The map answers back

Every answer in the Concept tab repaints the map. Zoom right in - past zoom 15 the map shows every individual commercial unit on record, with its own modelled revenue on click.

Markers are street segments. Colour = fit or estimated revenue for your concept. Click one for the full evidence panel. Zoom in past level 15 to reveal every individual commercial unit.

Step 3

Top 20 streets for your concept

The 20 best-matching street segments, sorted by overall fit. The map still shows every segment.

No street open yet

Select a segment on the map or in the top-20 table to open its full evidence panel: demand at your hours, named competitors, rent context, crime, revenue range and the slide report.

Concept trends

Is your concept rising or fading?

Every concept, with two independent signals: venues actually recorded in London over time (category level, from OpenStreetMap history) and what people search for (Google Trends). Sort by growth to spot the risers, or search for a concept.

Sort:

Honest labels: the venue series counts every recorded venue in the concept's category (all cafés, all restaurants...) in the OpenStreetMap extract history - mapper coverage grows over time, so some of the rise is better mapping, not just more openings; it is OBSERVED data with that caveat. The search series is Google Trends interest for a matching keyword, an ESTIMATED index of attention, not shops or sales. Concept-level shop counts per year are not published by any open source at this granularity - where a figure is not available, the row says so instead of guessing.

Each ranking is one fixed concept run through the published model over 158 Sheffield street segments. Scores and revenues are MODELLED planning estimates; station flows and venue counts are OBSERVED at named sources; residents, rents and crime are AREA CONTEXT.
