SafeGraph Neighborhood Patterns contains aggregated footfall data for each census block group. Use the data to answers:
- Which day of the week is this CBG busiest?
- When during the day is this CBG busy?
- What brands are popular in this CBG?
- Where do people who visit this CBG travel from?
This data is ideal for site-selection use cases and other use cases where you need to understand how busy an area is and when it is busy.
One month of data (covering October 2018) is available for download for free at the SafeGraph Neighborhood Patterns page.
The SafeGraph Neighborhood Patterns dataset follows a similar format to the SafeGraph Places Patterns dataset.
