The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Stockton to the nearest other one in Stockton. Half of the gaps are shorter than 250 feet, and the middle half run from 100 feet to 850 feet. In Stockton, 75 of 175 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 (167 of 175 cameras).

The most common recorded directions are northeast and southwest, with 29 cameras each. Because 4 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 171 directions from 167 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 8 cameras here.

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

In Stockton, 103 of 175 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 59% of the cameras here.

• Public agency88 cameras
• Private15 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded72 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.

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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
