ShopperWorkerRatio

10.13139/ORNLNCCS/1810779

These data characterize spatial and temporal variation in the ratio between shoppers and workers in public places - points of interest - in the United States between 2019 and 2020. The underlying data on foot traffic to public places is collected by SafeGraph, a commercial data aggregator. We estimate the ratio of shoppers to workers based on recorded visit duration.These data may be useful for understanding how use of public spaces have changed during the Coronavirus pandemic, and more generally for understanding activity patterns in public.
