• Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera71% of the area
• Within half a mile of a mapped camera100% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Alhambra: the part that lies within 400 metres (about a quarter mile) and within 800 metres (about half a mile) of a mapped camera, wherever that camera stands. They describe distance to a pin and nothing else. In the median place measured nationwide, 46% of the area inside the boundary lies within half a mile of a mapped camera. The shares are rounded to whole percents, so 100% can stand for anything from 99.5% of the area inside the boundary upward.

Half of the gaps are shorter than 700 feet, and the middle half run from 300 feet to 0.2 miles.

In Alhambra, 23 of 57 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 40% of the cameras here.

• Public agency20 cameras
• Private3 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded34 cameras

The kinds are read from the operator names mappers typed. A name is counted as private only when it plainly belongs to a business, an association or another private owner; a name the rules cannot place is counted as other; and where no operator is recorded the camera is not assumed to be anybody’s. The method page sets out how a name is sorted into a kind.

The distance and area figures for Alhambra come from 1,979 sample points, laid 100 metres apart across the area inside its boundary.

Each distance is a straight line from a sample point to the nearest mapped camera of any make, and that camera can stand outside the boundary. The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
