The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Santa Rosa to the nearest other one in Santa Rosa. Half of the gaps are shorter than 100 feet, and the middle half run from 50 feet to 350 feet. In Santa Rosa, 135 of 214 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 92% of the cameras here (197 of 214 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 31 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 198 directions from 197 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 15 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, Santa Rosa has 12 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 178,127 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 Santa Rosa come from 11,081 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
