Get started with Kadrin Batch
Kadrin Batch adds numbers to your spreadsheet of places, with no code: who lives and works around each place, what they earn, and the businesses nearby. It takes about five minutes.
1. Sign in
The beta is by invitation. Your invitation email has a link to set your password, which works for 7 days. After that, sign in at app.kadrindata.com/batch.
Forgot your password? Choose "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page. The link we send works for 1 hour.
2. Get your file ready
Save your spreadsheet as a CSV file, with one row per place. Batch finds the places by their usual column names:
| To find each place by | Name the columns |
|---|---|
| Its address | Street Address, City, State and Zip Code. Or one Address column with all of it. |
| Its location | Latitude and Longitude |
| An official area | GEOID (the official ID number the government gives each area, such as 25025 for Suffolk County, Massachusetts) |
Other columns, such as a store's name or number, come back unchanged in your results. A file can have up to 100,000 places. GeoJSON and Parquet files work too.
No file handy? Download our example: four places in Massachusetts.
3. Start a request
Choose New request and pick your file. Before anything runs, Batch checks the file, for free, and shows you:
- which columns it read as each place's address or location. If it guessed wrong, change them.
- your first rows, as Batch reads them.
- the rows it can't use, and why. Those rows are left out and cost nothing.
Then choose what to measure:
- Site report: who lives and works within a short drive of each place, what they earn, and the businesses nearby. See the site report.
- Submarket report: how the area is growing, its jobs and workers, and what people earn and pay for housing. See the submarket report.
- Or pick topics yourself.
Choose the area around each place too. Batch suggests the report's usual one, such as a 10-minute drive. Your results include margins of error, and comparisons with the county, the state and the US, unless you turn them off.
4. Check the cost and run
Batch shows what the request will cost and how many credits you have. Choose Run.
You can close the page: the request keeps going, and Your requests shows how far it has got. While it's working you can Cancel it. You pay only for the places already done, and you can still download them.
5. Download your results
When it's done, choose Download. You get your own file back, named like "stores (Kadrin site report).csv": your columns first, then Kadrin's, each named in plain words, with its margin of error where it has one and the comparisons. Results can be downloaded for 7 days.
A place Batch couldn't find, such as an address with a typo, comes back with the reason, and costs nothing.
