Acres provides several interactive map layers to help you analyze individual parcels. Our Insights includes key land data: Elevation, Flood, Historical Imagery, Land Cover, Power Lines, Soils, Timber Site Index, Vegetation Index, Water, Property Tax, County Rent, County Yield. such as elevation, soil, flood, and historical imagery.
There are two key ways to view Insights:
- View insights of an individual parcel in our Property Summary
- View insights of all selected boundaries through our Insights Panel
1. View key insights of an individual parcel in our Property Summary
You can review key insights (Elevation, Flood, Soils, Land Cover, and Property Taxes) by opening up our AI-powered Property Summary. To do this, either click View Details on a selected boundary or use the Info Cursor to click on a boundary on the map.
This will open a Property Summary panel on the left of your screen. Scroll down to view all available Insights. These show up while hovering, or you can toggle them on to keep the layer open (even stacking multiple insights at once) while you continue to work.
2. View all insights of all selected boundaries through our Insights Panel
To use any of the insight layers, start by selecting a parcel or parcels on the map. These will populate on your Selections Panel on the right side of the map. (Learn more here.)
Next, open the Insights tab in the menu on the left side of the screen.
Once you choose an Insight layer, you will be able to view the associated data in the Insights panel and/or as an overlay on the parcel(s) you selected. Below is an example using Elevation, which displays data for this parcel both in the Insights panel and on the map.
Certain Insights have customization options available — for example, with Elevation you can adjust the contour interval (between 0.1 and 50 feet) or opacity of the heat map.
Note: If you have multiple boundaries selected, the insight will be displayed on all boundaries (within 32,000 acres in size or distance), and any calculations will be for the aggregate of all boundaries. Click "All Boundaries" at the top to isolate the insight to specific selected parcels.
