Trick-or-treat Map Shows Vancouver’s Halloween Hotspots

Trick-or-treating is a sweet science for many children — a fruitful route can take a concerted effort of skill, strategy and execution.

But a new data set predicts exactly where the onslaught of trick-or-treaters will hit the streets.

Created by software developer Jens von Bergmann, the Trick-or-Treat Density Estimator estimates the number of children of prime trick-or-treat age per area, so the expected trick-or-treat foot traffic in each area.

Use this map if you plan on taking your kids out trick-or-treating and want to make sure you find the area in your neighbourhood with the most kids out on the street.
