Use Cases for BP Points of Interest Data

Market Analysis

BP POI data enables clear measurement of footprint and demand. Analysts can rank regions and cities by location count, compare coverage on a per-capita basis, and use traffic scores and review volumes to spot high-performing markets and under-served pockets. The result is an objective view of saturation, growth opportunities, and performance outliers.

Site Selection

For network planning, the data supports scoring candidate trade areas using location density, population per location, and nearby traffic intensity. Teams can evaluate cannibalization risk via nearest-store distance, surface whitespace along key corridors, and prioritize sites near retail anchors, campuses, or transit where observed activity is strongest.

Urban Planning

Planners can map clusters and service gaps to understand commercial access at the neighborhood level. Per-capita coverage highlights communities with limited access, while changes in openings or closures signal shifts in activity. These insights inform corridor revitalization, streetscape and transit planning, and data-driven zoning decisions.
