Brief description of the data offering
The ICE ESG Geo-Analyzer Tool is a visualization and analytics solution that enables data-driven actionable insights for location-linked assets. Users can analyze climate and social features surrounding any specific location within the contiguous United States, regardless of the presence of any linked security.
The Geo-Analyzer provides climate risk and demographic metrics at property-level. It can be used to analyze client provided locations, such as pre-securitized commercial properties, whole loan portfolios, and real estate holdings, and their respective associated location-backed securities.
Features
- Comprehensive U.S. coverage: Access climate risk and social impact data for any contiguous U.S. location
- Custom inputs: Climate risk, social, and demographic data aggregated for any user-provided location (latitude & longitude) within the contiguous U.S.
- Portfolio summary: Portfolio-level (or pool-level) ICE Climate Risk scores and ICE Social Impact scores
- On-demand: Retrieval of files and/or output from a self-service user interface
- Delivery: Flexible delivery options including web-based user interface and API, allowing for time-sensitive applications
Use cases

- CMBS primary market - Use Geo-Analyzer for pre-securitized CMBS deals with data from issuers
- Client reporting - Evaluate their portfolio’s overall ESG characteristics using unified scores and metrics across asset classes (Muni, RMBS, CMBS, whole loans)
- RMBS primary market - Evaluate whole loan portfolio opportunities for climate risk and social impact on a tight timeline (hours not days)
Where and how do you source your data?
ICE sources climate, economic and demographic data from a range of privately and publicly accessible data providers. These datasets are provided in varying formats and geospatial resolutions -- we employ a technique called dasymmetric modelling to normalize, harmonize, and standardize climate projections, loss estimates and socioeconomic metrics across different time horizons and geographical regions.
