Dubai area dashboard: every fact we hold about one spot
Drop a pin or search an area, and the dashboard lays out what surrounds that spot: the homes due nearby year by year, how far the metro is, the schools and their ratings, the services within walking distance and the people who live there. Each figure is a dated fact from an official source.
- Every distance and count is measured in a straight line from your pin.
- Tabs for an overview, homes due, transport, schools and services, and buildings.
- Community-wide figures are marked as community-level wherever they appear.
The tool
Dubai area dashboard BETA
Search an area or a station, or click the map. The location card names the spot and the tiles below it give the figures, each with its source and date. Switch tabs for more detail, and open the layer panel under the map to choose what the map shows.

Every distance and count is measured in a straight line from the pin. Figures marked community-level are for the whole Dubai Municipality community that holds the pin. Units are every unit type on the Dubai Land Department project register, read 18 Oct 2026, rounded to two significant figures.

Guide
How to read the area dashboard
Overview
The overview puts the headline figures together. The tile edged in orange is the units due within 2 km by the end of 2030, the figure most readers come for. Around it sit the residents of the community, the nearest metro station, the bus stops within 500 m and the schools within 2 km, with the food and drink outlets, clinics and pharmacies within 1 km.
Homes due
Homes due breaks the register down by year: the rest of 2026, each year to 2030, after 2030, and units whose scheduled date has passed in projects still active on the register. The units completed in 2021 to 2025 sit alongside for scale.
Transport
Transport gives the straight-line distance to the nearest metro station and, within 3 km, the nearest tram stop, with the station’s journeys over 12 months and the bus stops within 500 m. It adds the residents RTA counts as served by buses and the public parking spaces in the community, with RTA’s Dubai-wide parking tariff.
Schools and services
Schools within 2 km are counted by KHDA inspection rating and by curriculum, with the pupils enrolled at those schools. Licensed food and drink outlets are counted by broad activity, and clinics and pharmacies by number and nearest distance. No school, business or clinic is named.
Limits
How far to rely on each figure
Measured from your pin
Every distance and count is measured from the exact point of your pin, so a pin on a metro station reads under 50 m and moving the pin changes the figures. Distances are straight lines; a walking or driving route will be longer.
Units due
The units are every unit type the register credits a project with, so a hotel or an office tower counts alongside apartments and villas. A completion date on file is a filing with the Land Department and can move.
Positions
KHDA places each school to about 1 km, so the distance to the nearest school rated Good or better is given in half-kilometre steps, and the Dubai Health Authority publishes clinic and pharmacy positions to about the same, so the nearest-clinic and nearest-pharmacy distances are too. Treat anything near the edge of a circle as either side of it.
Small counts
A figure for homes due that rests on fewer than 2 projects is left blank, and a count of businesses below 3 is not shown, so no single project or business can be picked out. Population is the Dubai Statistics Center estimate for the end of 2025.

Questions
Area dashboard questions
What does the Dubai area dashboard show?
It shows every figure we hold about one spot in Dubai, as tiles: the units due to complete within 1 km and 2 km by year from the Dubai Land Department register (read 18 Oct 2026), the nearest metro station and tram stop, bus stops within 500 m, schools within 2 km by KHDA rating, and the residents of the community, plus licensed food and drink outlets, clinics and pharmacies within 1 km, public parking spaces and buildings in the community. Each tile carries its source and date.
What does "community-level" mean on a tile?
Some figures are published only for a whole Dubai Municipality community, such as estimated residents, public parking spaces, residents served by buses and buildings on the register. The dashboard shows them for the community that holds your pin and marks them community-level, so every pin in that community shows the same figure. Everything else is measured in a straight line from the pin itself.
How are the homes due near a location counted?
The dashboard adds up the units in registered projects within 1 km and 2 km, by the completion date on file: the rest of 2026, each year to 2030, and after 2030. Cancelled projects are left out. Sums are rounded to two significant figures, and a figure resting on fewer than 2 projects is left blank so no single project can be picked out.
Does the dashboard name the restaurants, clinics or schools near me?
No. It counts licensed food and drink outlets from Dubai Municipality's register (28 Sep 2026) and clinics and pharmacies from the Dubai Health Authority (1 Feb 2026), without names, and a count below 3 is not shown. Schools are counted by KHDA rating and curriculum. For a named school, use KHDA's own listing.
Can I send the dashboard to myself or a colleague?
Yes. "Email my results" sends every figure on the dashboard, with its source and date, to your inbox. The address bar also keeps your pin, so a bookmark or a shared link opens the same spot, in this module or any other.
