PropertyShark Rocks our Data Porn World

If you're a fan or casual reader of New York Curbed (our brother site), then you are probably familiar with the PropertyShark. in addition to providing property reports, the PropertyShark takes the mundane map and through use of information we're not privvy too, or maybe we are, creates dynamic maps that are content rich. Through the magic of the Internets, the PropertyShark is now doing some creative content for Los Angeles. So what does the PShark say about LA?

By land area LA County is mostly residential. West of the 110 freeway commercial shopping areas have well-defined patterns as they line major arteries. It looks like a grid of reddish pink drawn across the city. This is a common pattern in older, mature metropoli.

The exception in Los Angeles County is the southeast corner in the areas surrounding cities like Paramount, Lakewood, Cerritos, Bellflower, and Downey. There the commercial areas appear like irregular pink pimples plopped down on random intersections amid otherwise solidly residential neighborhoods. Interested readers can explore the PropertyShark.com maps themselves. Like Google's maps they are free and highly interactive."

We've determined through the PShark's analysis that we in fact live in one of the highest concentrated areas of single men in LA County, other than WeHo, Venice and Downtown (which is a surprising meat market). Crazy.

I read the headline "PropertyShark Rocks Are Data Porn World" several times, attempting to understand it. Did you mean, perhaps, "PropertyShark Rocks Our Data-Porn World"? :-)

Damn it! YES. You are correct. 'Our' not 'are', nor 'hour'. Thanks.

One of my coworkers wants to know if they can indicate if any of the single guys are straight.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but the overwhelming majority of those "desirable single men" in downtown Los Angeles are homeless men, or men living in SRO hotels like the Alexandria or the Hotel Cecil, many of whom have disabilities, mental illness, or extensive criminal records including sexual offenses.

I, however, do live in the neighborhood in a nice converted loft, am self-employed, own my own automobile, and am one of the exceptions to this rule (i.e., I don't have a criminal record). Ladies?

Mercer's right, especially considering that this is 2000 Census data--back when there were only a few loft buildings open downtown.

I love how my new neighborhood is "Wedlock."
