What We Track

Every location is scored across 19 livability parameters, powered by government data, Google Earth Engine satellite imagery, and open-source intelligence.

Air Quality

Real-time AQI from Google Air Quality API & AQICN stations โ€” PM2.5, PM10, NOโ‚‚, SOโ‚‚, Oโ‚ƒ, CO pollutant levels with health advisories.

Water Quality

TDS, pH, turbidity, fluoride, supply hours, CWC river data โ€” everything about your drinking water safety.

Sanitation

Drain coverage, solid waste management, sewage treatment, open defecation status from Swachh Bharat data.

Infrastructure

38 GEE satellite parameters โ€” ESA WorldCover land use, GHSL building height/volume, SMOD settlement type, VIIRS nighttime lights, terrain & spectral indices.

Amenities

Google Maps powered proximity scoring โ€” hospitals, schools, markets, parks, pharmacies, metro/BRTS stations nearby.

Quiet Score

Noise environment based on proximity to highways, industrial zones, railway lines, and commercial areas.

Green Cover

NDVI satellite analysis for vegetation density, tree canopy percentage, parks within 500m, green belt proximity.

Surface Temp

Google Earth Engine Landsat 8/9 land surface temperature โ€” mean, min, max LST for urban heat island analysis.

Open Area

ESA WorldCover open space percentage and non-built-up ratio โ€” measuring available open area vs urban sprawl.

Nighttime Lights

VIIRS Day/Night Band radiance โ€” proxy for electrification, economic activity, and night-time safety.

Water Bodies

JRC Global Surface Water โ€” permanent and seasonal water coverage percentage within area buffers.

Pop. Density

WorldPop 100m population density and total estimated population โ€” lower density = better livability score.

Flood Risk

CWC flood zone mapping, drainage capacity, waterlogging history, river proximity โ€” split into river flood & urban waterlogging.

Earthquake Risk

BIS seismic zone classification, PGA hazard values, soil type analysis, liquefaction risk assessment per area.

Groundwater

TerraClimate satellite data โ€” soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and recharge estimates for groundwater availability analysis.

Walkability SPECIAL

OpenStreetMap pedestrian infrastructure โ€” sidewalks, crosswalks, footpaths, cycle paths, traffic signals, street lighting, and road surface quality.

Safety SPECIAL

Emergency services coverage โ€” police stations, fire stations, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies from Google Maps & OpenStreetMap data.

Waterlogging Susceptibility SPECIAL

GEE satellite-derived waterlogging risk โ€” terrain slope, elevation, soil moisture, drainage density, NDVI, and land cover analysis on a 500m grid. Each cell scored 0โ€“100.

Risk Factors SPECIAL

9-category risk intelligence โ€” environmental hazards, water & drainage, air pollution, infrastructure gaps, land use, safety, social nuisance, natural disaster, and connectivity risks.

Why We Built This

When people buy a home, rent a flat, or invest in property โ€” they rely on word-of-mouth, broker opinions, or random Google searches. There's no single platform that objectively tells you: "Is the air clean here? Is the water safe? Will it flood?"

GreaterRaipur Livability changes that. We aggregate data from 10+ government and open sources, score every ward and sector on 15 critical parameters, and give you a simple 0โ€“100 composite score with a grade (A to F).

We started with Raipur & Nava Raipur and have since expanded to Amleshwar โ€” now covering 134 locations across 70 RMC wards in 10 zones, 40 Nava Raipur sectors, and 9 Amleshwar localities โ€” because we believe every resident deserves to know the true livability of their neighbourhood.

Scoring System
GradeScore RangeMeaning
A80 โ€“ 100Excellent โ€” Top-tier neighbourhood
B60 โ€“ 79Good โ€” Above average living conditions
C40 โ€“ 59Average โ€” Room for improvement
D20 โ€“ 39Below Average โ€” Significant concerns
F0 โ€“ 19Poor โ€” Major livability challenges

Composite score = simple average of all available sub-scores. Risk parameters (Air, Flood, Earthquake) are inverted so that lower risk = higher livability.
