Free Data
We're democratizing access to data through our academic program. How is SafeGraph data powering research? Read some samples of the hundreds of papers that use our data.
SafeGraph’s datasets include over 8 million consumer points-of-Interest (POI) in the US & Canada, which includes business listing information (like phone number, business category, open hours) and POI location info (lat/long, physical address, and building footprint).
Using an anonymized mobile GPS location data panel, we combined this with our POI data to create foot-traffic insights (visitor counts, dwell times, distances travelled, and visitor neighborhood origins) to these POI.
