Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to determine and rank large areas encompassing many parcels (e.g., neighborhoods, cities, towns) for aerial item delivery availability, without the use of image data of the areas. In some implementations, publicly available two-dimensional parcel maps that indicate parcel boundaries and outlines of structures on those parcels may be obtained and processed. For example, parcels within the area may be processed to determine deliverable area shapes, such as rectangles, within the parcel, excluding the area of the structure. A determination is then made as to whether one or more of the deliverable area shapes exceed a deliverable area threshold. If one or more of the deliverable area shapes of the parcel exceed the threshold, the parcel is considered to be available for aerial item delivery. This processing may be done for all parcels within an area or all customer parcels of customers of a service within the area (or any other selection criteria). Likewise, this processing may be done for multiple different areas and the areas may be ranked based on the overall determined availability of aerial item delivery to parcels within those areas.
