The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Pomona to the nearest other one in Pomona. Half of the gaps are shorter than 300 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 800 feet. In Pomona, 27 of 73 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 95% of the cameras here (69 of 73 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southwest, with 12 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 70 directions from 69 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 3 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, Pomona has 4.8 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 151,713 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 Pomona come from 5,968 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
