Phoenix investors, is this "path of progress" map helpful?

Hey investors, I'm the new Market Intelligence Analyst here at BiggerPockets, and I'm developing a way to predict the future "path of progress" for a given market. Since I was born and raised in Phoenix, I figured I'd start there. 

Is the map below helpful or useful? 



Here's an interactive version of the map, where you can zoom in and see more information such as population and population per acre: https://www.datawrapper.de/_/jDwi4/


It tracks the change in population density (population/acre) for each neighborhood (census tract) in the Phoenix MSA from 2010-2020. The darker the blue, the higher the change in population density. Clusters of dark blue areas (such as Queen Creek, Buckeye-Goodyear, area between Surprise and Anthem) may indicate the path of progress happened (or is still happening in these areas), and we might be able to assume the path of progress could continue in these directions.


Do you find this kind of information helpful at all? If so, please let me know. If no one finds it helpful, I won't bother with predicting future "paths of progress."
