Trulia Hindsight

Even though we look at these kinds of maps and data visualizations every day, Hindsight is prompting us to look closer. On purely aesthetic grounds, this animation of properties northeast of Reno is one of our favorites. A little further north though, you can see that the assessor database Trulia has is a little bit behind Microsoft’s aerial imagery for the same area.

But then if you zoom out again, you can see the satellite imagery at that level is older than the data we’re drawing. This is one of the side-effects of this kind of visualization: it’s always a work in progress where the edges and seams between the different datasets are often the most interesting parts.

Watch the amazing shapes emerge from the map of this river delta community. The community features a full-service Marina and Yacht Harbor with launching and storage facilities.
