Abstract
A computer-implemented method for manipulating real property data for a plurality of properties is provided. The computer-implemented method includes identifying boundary specifications for clustering the plurality of properties, thereby forming a plurality of basic data blocks. Each of the plurality of data blocks corresponds to a subset of the plurality of properties and has boundaries delineated in accordance with the boundary specifications. The computer-implemented method also includes identifying a common attribute among properties in each of the plurality of basic data blocks. The computer-implemented method further includes representing each of the plurality of basic data blocks with a respective attribute value associated with the common attribute. The computer-implemented method yet also includes assigning attribute values of the plurality of basic data blocks with visual representations of a visual representation scale, thereby representing the plurality of basic data blocks as non-opaque visual overlays.
