How close is the nearest license plate camera in Nampa, ID?

• Nampa: typical distance0.7 miles
• Median of the 8 places measured in Idaho0.7 miles
• Median of the 2,395 places measured nationwide0.5 miles

• Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera13% of the area
• Within half a mile of a mapped camera34% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Nampa: 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 Nampa to the nearest other one in Nampa. Half of the gaps are shorter than 50 feet, and the middle half run from 50 feet to 150 feet. In Nampa, 48 of 62 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 44% of the cameras here (27 of 62 cameras).

The most common recorded directions are northeast and northwest, with 9 cameras each. Because 12 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 39 directions from 27 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 2 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, Nampa has 6.2 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 100,200 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 Nampa come from 9,471 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
