Regrid, a Detroit-based land mapping and location intelligence provider, has completed the first nationwide land parcel coverage map with data in every U.S. county, culminating more than a decade of effort that started in the Motor City.
Regrid, which began life as Loveland Technologies, provides a public map and app for exploring national land parcel data in the U.S. It makes parcel data available to businesses, developers, and researchers via API, downloads, cloud delivery, and the Esri-compatible Feature Service.
The company’s Data with Purpose program provides academics and nonprofits access to land insight at a pay-what-you-can-afford price.
“Mapping is never done, but the team is very proud to celebrate and build on this historic milestone,” says Jerry Paffendorf, CEO of Regrid. “Land is the foundation of our communities, economies, and natural resources, which motivates us to achieve the greatest coverage, currency, and completeness as possible in every county and territory, no matter how small.”
Loveland Technologies’ initial mapping project in Detroit saw the light of day on a dedicated website and a user-friendly app, making land parcel data accessible to residents and sowing the seeds for what would become a nationwide mission.
Driven by the affirmative impacts and the “transformative” potential of accessible land parcel data, the company expanded its horizon, rebranded as Regrid, and embarked on a “meticulous” journey of mapping the U.S., including Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories, one parcel dataset at a time.
Regrid’s new map encompasses every county across the United States, which until now, according to Regrid, lacked a standardized database of land parcels with nationwide coverage touching every single county. This void could hampered the efforts of individuals, communities, governmental bodies, industries, and analysts relying on accurate and accessible land parcel information. Regrid’s new map fills this void, paving the way for enhanced national analysis and opening doors to novel insights regarding land and property, Regrid says.
“This monumental achievement is a testament to Regrid’s unwavering commitment to bridging informational gaps and fostering a deeper understanding of land and property dynamics,” Paffendorf says.
The map is freely available for exploration on app.regrid.com/us and through the Regrid Property App for iPhone and Android.
