Your map. Your format.

Exports use the current filters. Original measurement windows, source URLs and pipeline qualifiers travel with the data.

READ THE DATA CORRECTLY

The detail behind the map.

This atlas preserves the dataset and geographic boundaries from the original Virginia grocery map, captured November 3, 2026 (Eastern). Original-store status, visit estimates and pipeline facts have not been independently re-verified. The three added retailers use official store directories, checked November 3, 2026 (Eastern). Their visit counts remain unavailable after checking the connected GitHub repositories.

284 locations / 27 boundaries

278 operating-store records and 6 Publix pipeline records. The original 251 records are preserved; 11 Trader Joe’s, 11 Whole Foods and 11 Wegmans locations were added from official directories. Stores appear in 23 of the 27 boundary jurisdictions.

Two measurement windows

196 stores have 12-month visits: Nov 1, 2025 – Oct 31, 2026. 30 ALDI stores have 6-month visits: May 1 – Oct 31, 2026. 58 records have no visits, including the 33 newly verified locations. Six-month counts are clearly labeled and never annualized.

Performance is within brand

Percentiles and ranks are the original within-brand, territory-wide measures, among measured stores. They do not recalculate when filters change. A 90th percentile Walmart is compared with other Walmarts, not an ALDI.

Supply per resident

The Per resident layer divides mapped operating stores by the full Census population of each county or independent city, multiplied by 10,000. Target and Walmart are excluded unless enabled. Brand filters apply; searching and panning never shrink a jurisdiction’s numerator. Selected chains are an incomplete grocery inventory: zero mapped locations does not mean no grocers. Store size, cross-boundary shopping and daytime population are not modeled.

Pipeline is source-reported

Five sites name Publix in the source; Old Stage Coach Road is tenant-unconfirmed. Pipeline coordinates may refer to an approximate parcel, nearby landmark or existing center. Original coordinate notes appear in store details.

Nearby stores & notes

Radius distances are straight-line distances from original coordinates, not drive times. Nearby analysis uses all source records, regardless of active filters. Notes and saved comparisons stay in this browser. Shared notes on the original map are not synced here.

Built with Leaflet, Leaflet.markercluster. The 3D lens uses MapLibre GL JS, OpenFreeMap vector maps where available and Mapzen/AWS elevation tiles. Its Per resident layer uses the same county population ratios as the 2D map. Terrain is shown at 1.5× vertical exaggeration. In 3D Performance mode, column height encodes the source within-brand percentile; these columns are data symbols, not buildings. Base-map attribution appears on the map.

A closer comparison.

Read visit counts alongside their measurement periods. Within-brand rank is not a cross-brand ranking.
