Debating reform?
Inform the vote and benchmark your zoning.
Zoning decides what gets built and where. But it's effectively indecipherable at scale, given that thousands of jurisdictions each have their own code with unique quirks. That leads legislators to debate reform without knowing how their rules compare to the place next door, and reforms pass with no baseline to measure against. Land Use Labs turns sprawling local codes into standardized data so you can benchmark your community and target reform with evidence instead of anecdotes.

Make Informed Policy with Zoning Districts
GIS layers that reveal how each base and overlay district regulates uses and lots. Drop them into your GIS to see where constraints bind, model zoning reform before it goes to council, and compare regulations across districts. Public display of your zoning is available under a custom license.
Compare Your Jurisdiction with Zoning Tables
Zoning Tables summarize statistics on zoning, housing, land cover, and demographics at any geographic scale, from a census tract or block group, to a single jurisdiction, to an entire state or CBSA. They power regulatory comparison and land use research, using hard numbers to inform analysis.
Model Reform Scenarios with Zoning Slices
Slices flatten every overlapping base and overlay district into individual, non-overlapping polygons, each carrying exactly one set of prevailing rules. They show what zoning actually requires across a whole study area, ready for scenario planning and policy research.
See What's Buildable with Zoning Rasters
Rasters illuminate residential and nonresidential uses in standardized, 30×30m grid cells over more than 1 billion acres—a continuous surface of what zoning permits rather than what's already built. Rasters suit environmental analysis and land use research and can integrate directly with your data pipeline.
