Methods for spatially relative apportionment of geospatial data in distributed computing systems, and related systems and apparatus

A method for apportionment of geospatial data, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a data storage device, a dataset comprising tile data corresponding to a geographical region, wherein the tile data corresponds to a respective sub-regions of the geographical region and tile attribute records, and wherein the tile data (i) uniquely identifies a respective tile and (ii) indicates respective sub-region attribute values of the sub-region corresponding to the respective tile;
• receiving, from a data storage device, spatial relationship data, wherein the spatial relationship data (i) identifies a respective pair of tiles included in the tile data and (ii) indicates a spatial relationship between the respective pair of tiles;
• spatially apportioning the tile data based at least in part on the spatial relationship data by one or more processors, wherein performing the spatially relative apportionment includes, for each tile T in the tile data and each spatial relationship R between tiles,
• identifying, based on the spatial relationship data, a subset of the tile data having the respective spatial relationship R to the respective tile T,
• for each sub-region attribute, generating an aggregated attribute value for the respective attribute,
• generating a record of spatially relative apportionment (i) identifying the respective tile T and the respective spatial relationship R and (ii) indicating the aggregated attribute values of the subset of tiles having the respective spatial relationship R to the respective tile T.

A system comprising:

• one or more processing devices and one or more storage devices storing instructions, the processing device being operable to execute the instructions to perform operations including:
• receiving, from the data storage device, a dataset comprising tile data corresponding to a geographical region, wherein the tile data corresponds to respective sub-regions of the geographical region and tile attribute records, and wherein the tile data (i) uniquely identifies a respective tile and (ii) indicates respective sub-region attribute values of the sub-region corresponding to the respective tile;
• receiving, from the data storage device, spatial relationship data, wherein the spatial relationship data (i) identifies a respective pair of tiles included in the tile data and (ii) indicates a spatial relationship between the respective pair of tiles;
• spatially apportioning the tile data based at least in part on the spatial relationship data by the processing device, wherein performing the spatially relative apportionment includes, for each tile T in the tile data and each spatial relationship R between tiles,
• identifying, based on the spatial relationship data, a subset of the tile data having the respective spatial relationship R to the respective tile T,
• for each sub-region attribute, generating an aggregated attribute value for the respective attribute,
• generating a record of spatially relative apportionment (i) identifying the respective tile T and the respective spatial relationship R and (ii) indicating the aggregated attribute values of the subset of tiles having the respective spatial relationship R to the respective tile T.
