Summary

Better Aggregation Methods for Exploring Big Datasets` We've developed new tools to help visualize larger datasets, moving beyond small-scale GIS applications. With CARTO Builder, users can now style maps by separating aggregation properties from visual styles, allowing for more efficient analysis of high-density feature sets like 3 million points in San Francisco. This new approach enables automatic recalculations of aggregations when filtering data, making it easier to analyze different distributions of points based on values. Additionally, custom aggregations using census tracts or other polygon data are supported, providing users with greater flexibility in their data analysis.
