A method of generating a visualization of location-dependent values is provided where a plurality of bids and a plurality of supply locations are received from at least one datastore. Each of the plurality of bids has an associated location. A first geographic location is selected from the plurality of supply locations. A ball tree is generated, the ball tree comprising a plurality of nodes, each node of the ball tree comprising a pivot geographic location and a radius, each node corresponding to at least one local value having a location within the radius of the pivot. The ball tree is traversed to generate sorted collection of location dependent values. Each of the location dependent values is determined from one of the plurality of bids. A map of the collection of location dependent values is output.
