BlockAvenue, which is launching today, has acquired and aggregated about 50 million data points from across the U.S. to assign a letter grade to virtually every neighborhood and city block in the country. According to the company's founder and CEO Tony Longo, finding the right place to live in a city can be difficult and in dense urban areas, quality of life is often determined more by which block you live on than which neighborhood you are in. BlockAvenue, which sees itself as a location company, analyzes data ranging from crime statistics to available public transit options, as well as the availability and quality of local restaurants and stores and boils all of this data down to a single A-F letter grade.
