Terrain and Elevation: Why Slope Matters at an Address
Runoff, access, and the feel of a street
Terrain is easy to ignore until you are walking it every day. Slope changes how walkable a street feels, how easy bike trips are, and even how a backyard works in heavy rain.
We use elevation data to show the address height and nearby relief, so you can see whether a place is flat, gently rolling, or steep. It is a simple way to make the physical reality visible before you visit.
