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

Half of the points sampled inside Ontario are closer to a mapped camera than 0.5 miles, and half are farther: that median is the typical distance. Nine sampled points in ten are within 0.9 miles of one.

• Ontario: typical distance0.5 miles
• Median of the 353 places measured in California0.4 miles
• Median of the 2,395 places measured nationwide0.5 miles
• Ontario: nine points in ten are within0.9 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 Ontario is longer than the California figure and level with the national one.

• Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera22% of the area
• Within half a mile of a mapped camera55% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Ontario: 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 Ontario to the nearest other one in Ontario. Half of the gaps are shorter than 250 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 750 feet. In Ontario, 64 of 135 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 93% of the cameras here (126 of 135 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southwest, with 24 cameras. Because 5 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 131 directions from 126 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set; that leaves out 5 cameras here.

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

For every 10,000 residents, Ontario has 7.7 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 175,265 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 Ontario come from 12,929 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.
