The iHuus Neighborhood Intelligence API is built on a massive, continuously updated data pipeline. We aggregate, clean, and fuse hundreds of authoritative datasets — from federal hazard layers to raw satellite imagery — into simple, queryable API endpoints and semantic 0–255 indices.

Schools & Ratings

NCES, TEA, CDE and state-level district data

Vibe

Spatial imagery, road networks, and POI density

Environment

OpenAQ, DOT noise models, EPA hazard layers

Demographics

US Census Bureau and American Community Survey

Risk

FEMA NFHL flood zones and CALFIRE fire hazard tiers

Tools

Mapbox-powered geocoding for agentic workflows

Schools & Ratings

We provide comprehensive, location-based school data, district boundaries, and performance metrics by harmonizing federal and state-level datasets.

NCES Common Core of Data

Core administrative, enrollment, and demographic data for every public K-12 school in the United States.

State Education Agencies

State-specific performance metrics and district boundaries from sources including the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and California Department of Education (CDE).

Historical & Enhanced Context

We maintain current and historical data releases, further enriched from public school websites and local aggregators for completeness.
School searches return ratings on a 1–10 scale with full source attribution per record, so you always know exactly where a rating came from.

Vibe

“Vibe” is fundamentally difficult to quantify. We solve this by fusing multiple geospatial and physical-world datasets to evaluate the lived experience of a neighborhood across five dimensions: Privacy, Walkability, Visual Appeal, Dog Friendliness, and Urban-Rural Character.

Spatial Imagery & Road Networks

High-resolution overhead imagery and road network topologies reveal physical neighborhood structure: tree canopy coverage, lot sizes, pavement density, and sidewalk continuity.

Points of Interest (POIs)

We analyze the density and category mix of local businesses and amenities — parks, cafes, pet stores, transit stops — to map lifestyle accessibility and neighborhood character.
Visual Appeal, Privacy, and Dog Friendliness are Pro AI dimensions computed via algorithmic synthesis of imagery and POI data. Scores represent probabilistic estimates, not guaranteed physical conditions.

Environment

Our environmental dimensions are calculated using a complex fusion of sensory data, hazard reporting, and spatial intelligence.
DimensionPrimary SourceWhat We Measure
Air QualityOpenAQ monitoring networkConsistency and severity of AQI readings over time
Noise LevelsUS Dept. of Transportation (DOT) + live flight path modelingRoad, railroad, and aviation noise in decibels
Industrial ProximityEPA Superfund data, spatial imagery, commercial POIsProximity to heavy industry, warehouses, and pollution sources
Noise scores include a per-source breakdown in the response description — road, railroad, and aviation dB levels — so engineers can surface exactly what’s driving discomfort.

Demographics

We leverage authoritative government data to provide block-group-level insights into the people who make up a neighborhood.

US Census Bureau & ACS

Health Insurance Coverage and Population Age Profiles are derived strictly from the most recent Census Bureau releases and the American Community Survey (ACS).

Ideological Lean

We responsibly model political lean by synthesizing Census demographics with aggregated historical voting records and precinct-level data. Scores run from 1 (conservative) to 255 (liberal), with 128 as an even split.

Risk

We surface critical natural hazard data to help users understand the environmental liabilities of a specific location.
Our risk model coverage is actively expanding. Current datasets cover CA and TX only.

Flood Risk

Derived directly from the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL), covering coastal high-hazard zones (V/VE), 100-year (A/AE), and 500-year (X/B) floodplains nationwide.

Fire Risk

Sourced from CALFIRE State Responsibility Area (SRA) hazard severity zone designations. Currently available for California locations only. Scores range from Severe (1) to no risk reported (255).

Tools: Geocoding

Single-Address Geocoder

Our /tools/geocode-single endpoint is powered by the Mapbox Geocoding API. It takes a free-text address or place name and returns a single, definitive lat/lon pair. It is strictly designed for LLM and agentic workflows: agents geocode an address once, then pass coordinates to our intelligence endpoints.
