Demystifying the Data Terms Behind Your Tolemi Tools

As we partner with cities nationwide, we know data terminology can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, here are a few key terms and how they're used across Tolemi products.

  • Attributes: A characteristic of a property or owner that doesn't include a date. Example: land size.
  • Spatial Tools: Filters that find clusters of nearby properties or limit results by distance from selected properties. Example: properties within 500 feet of a school.
  • Analytics: A view for analyzing your filtered properties with graphs and charts. Example: building permits over time, grouped by neighborhood.

These terms are just the beginning of your data journey with Tolemi. Want to see these tools in action? Contact our Customer Success team.
