# Urgent care site demand and drive-time check

For one candidate address. A site works when enough people live close, rivals are weak and the ED is far enough to make urgent care the easy choice.

## 1. Demand

1. Geocode the address with @[OpenStreetMap · Geocode](alexandria:openstreetmap-org/places/geocode) and resolve its tract and place with @[US Census Bureau · Geographies](alexandria:census-gov/census/geographies).
2. Pull population, households with children, median income and insured share for surrounding tracts with @[US Census Bureau · Data](alexandria:census-gov/census/data) (acs/acs5).

## 2. Competition

3. Search @[Maps · Search](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/search) ("urgent care", "walk-in clinic") with the site's lat and long. Keep feature ids.
4. Read each rival's recent reviews with @[Maps · Reviews](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/reviews) (sort newest). Long waits, closed early or no X-ray are gaps to win on.
5. List pharmacies within 2 km with @[OpenStreetMap · Search elements](alexandria:openstreetmap-org/places/search_elements) (tags amenity=pharmacy, around the point).

## 3. The ED alternative

6. Find the nearest hospitals with @[CMS Care Compare · Hospitals](alexandria:data-cms-gov/clinician-procedure-volume/hospitals) (city, state) and measure drive time from the site with @[Maps · Directions](alexandria:firecrawl-maps/businesses/directions).
