15-Minute Life · Richmond metro pilot
Every H3 resolution-9 hex (about 0.1 km²) whose centre is on land in Henrico County, the City of Richmond or Chesterfield County: 18,920 hexes. Each hex has walk and drive minutes to the nearest grocery, pharmacy, K-12 school, park, healthcare site, library and bus stop, plus how many of each are reachable within 15 minutes. Destinations just outside the three localities count.
Shortest paths on OpenStreetMap road and path networks, with one-ways respected. Drive speeds are posted speeds scaled down for typical midday conditions (signals, turns, light congestion), not rush hour, plus a fixed 2-minute allowance for parking. Walking is 4.8 km/h on any non-motorway road or path, which measures possibility, not comfort or safety. Parks are measured to the park edge. Minutes are for the centre of each hex, up to about 200 m from a clicked point. Walk times over 90 minutes and drive times over 60 minutes are shown as ">90" and ">60". Minutes are published to one decimal, and each score is computed from exactly those minutes, so the breakdown on every card adds up to its headline score.
Lighter hexes have no residents (2020 Census). Faded hexes have no mapped road within 1 km of their centre. Population is 2020 Census, apportioned from blocks.
