How close is the nearest license plate camera in Atherton, CA?

Half of the points sampled inside Atherton are closer to a mapped camera than 0.2 miles, and half are farther: that median is the typical distance. Nine sampled points in ten are within 0.4 miles of one.

• Atherton: typical distance0.2 miles
• Median of the 353 places measured in California0.4 miles
• Median of the 2,395 places measured nationwide0.5 miles
• Atherton: nine points in ten are within0.4 miles

Across the 353 places measured in California, the median typical distance is 0.4 miles. Across the 2,395 places measured nationwide, it is 0.5 miles. The typical distance in Atherton is shorter than both.

• Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera61% of the area
• Within half a mile of a mapped camera94% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Atherton: 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 gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Atherton to the nearest other one in Atherton. Half of the gaps are shorter than 350 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 0.2 miles. In Atherton, 17 of 54 cameras stand within 200 feet (60 metres) of another, which usually means two on one pole or a group at one intersection.

A direction is recorded for 100% of the cameras here (54 of 54 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, with 13 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set.

The direction is the compass bearing a mapper noted for the camera, as it stood when they looked.

For every 10,000 residents, Atherton has 75.1 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 7,188 residents there. Among the places measured nationwide, the median is 8.1 mapped cameras for every 10,000 residents.

The distance and area figures for Atherton come from 1,306 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
