How these figures are worked out

The distance and area figures for Elk Grove Village come from 3,062 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.

Questions about this page

What does “typical distance” mean for Elk Grove Village?

Why is a camera I have seen not counted here?

Most likely nobody has added it to OpenStreetMap, which is where every pin on this site comes from. That makes each count on this page a floor: the cameras somebody has mapped, and no others. Add the camera there and it shows up here after the next refresh, which runs once a week.

Why does the title say “Flock & Other” and not just “Flock”?

Flock Safety is the recorded maker of 94% of the mapped cameras here (58 of 62 cameras). A page on this site names Flock only where that share is 60% or more, and says “other” because the rest are not recorded as Flock’s.
