Trade Area Analysis

Builds CARTO Workflows that define catchment areas around candidate locations, enrich them with data, and score/rank locations for site selection, billboard placement, or coverage analysis.

Prerequisites: Load carto-create-workflow for the development process, JSON structure, and validation commands.

Instructions

A trade area workflow always follows this pipeline:

Candidate Locations → (Filter) → Catchment Areas → Spatial Index → Enrich → Aggregate → Score/Rank → Save

Step 1: Load Candidate Locations

Use native.gettablebyname to load stores, billboards, POIs, or any point dataset representing candidate locations.
