Problem
Short-term renters often lack reliable, granular information about neighbourhood safety, local amenities, and transit accessibility, making it difficult to assess whether a location meets their specific needs before booking.
Solution
StreetKey aggregates and processes data from crash reports, crime records, business density, lighting, and transit infrastructure to generate neighbourhood-level scores across three dimensions: safety, vibe, and accessibility. Users can explore interactive maps for cities such as Vancouver, Toronto, and Seattle, and select personas (e.g., family, solo traveller, accessibility‑focused) that weight the dimensions according to their priorities. Scores are refreshed regularly, providing up‑to‑date insights that help renters compare areas quickly and make informed booking decisions.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals booking short‑term rentals—such as Airbnb guests, vacation renters, and corporate travelers—who need neighbourhood‑level insight into safety, amenities, and transit accessibility.
