If everyone facing eviction in Harris County lived a 10-minute drive from their hearing before a justice of the peace, roughly 17,000 people would not have been evicted by default between 2000 and 2018, the analysis estimated. If they had lived a five-minute drive away, they estimated more than 28,000 people could have averted evictions.

When we think of streets in the context of how they are represented in a database, what often comes to mind is the humble street centerline. However, more often than not these databases are focused on routing for automobiles rather than on other types of multimodal infrastructure and width data that could inform what can fit. However, with digital twins of street right-of-ways, we have the opportunity to evaluate design changes in more iterative and scenario oriented ways. Some regions are already starting to develop HD Vector Maps of their infrastructure, such as Contra Costa County.
