One territory or one thousand
Right-click anywhere on the map to drop a point, a radius or a drive-time area, and its daytime and residential population appear straight away. When you have a spreadsheet of locations, import it and create a territory for every one in a single step. No GIS training needed.
Drive-time areas and radius buffers
A radius is the fastest way to size a market. A drive-time area follows the road network, so a river or a highway changes its shape the same way it changes how people travel.
Right-click to create: drop a point, a radius or a drive-time area anywhere on the map.
Drive times up to 60 minutes, built on Mapbox road data.
Radii up to 75 km, for quick market sizing and straight-line comparisons.
Routes and corridors: buffer a line to count the people along it.
How-tos: Calculate population within a radius · Calculate population in a driving distance · Using isochrones for catchments

Postal codes and administrative boundaries
Many territories are defined by postal codes or official boundaries, especially once they go into a franchise agreement. Population Explorer has postal codes in 8 countries and administrative boundaries worldwide, down to level 4 where a country has them.
Postal codes: the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Australia and Mexico, with more on the way.
Boundaries: countries, states and provinces, counties and districts, and finer levels where they exist.
Postal-code lists for your FDD: export the codes that make up a territory, ready for Item 12.
