The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Aurora to the nearest other one in Aurora. Half of the gaps are shorter than 150 feet, and the middle half run from 50 feet to 400 feet. In Aurora, 183 of 294 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 96% of the cameras here (282 of 294 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 53 cameras. Because 5 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 287 directions from 282 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 9 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, Aurora has 7.6 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 386,261 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 Aurora come from 10,634 sample points, laid 200 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
