Catchment Area Analysis
Turn a selected origin into a travel-time catchment, then inspect the reachable population, geography and available POI context in Horizon Mapper.

Questions a catchment can help answer
The boundary is the start of the analysis. Its value comes from keeping the same origin, travel assumptions and data layers when you compare alternatives.
What supply sits inside it?
Add available points of interest to inspect services, competitors or complementary places.
How do locations compare?
Create comparable catchments, then review their geography and evidence side by side.
A working analysis sequence
Define reach, then inspect what is inside
- Generate. Choose the origin, mode and time; the routing service returns a network-shaped boundary.
- Measure. Open the zone statistics and compare population context using the selected year.
- Challenge. Add POIs or other available layers and test whether the result still supports the decision.
Interpretation guardrails
A model of reach, not a promise of arrival
Catchments depend on the mapped network, profile assumptions and routing coverage. Use consistent settings for comparison and validate important decisions with local evidence.

Need to rank opportunities, not only define reach?
Configure the site-selection workspace to examine demand and nearby supply together, then inspect the component evidence behind the ranking.
