How close is the nearest license plate camera in Woodbury, MN?

Half of the points sampled inside Woodbury are closer to a mapped camera than 0.4 miles, and half are farther: that median is the typical distance. Nine sampled points in ten are within 0.7 miles of one.

• Woodbury: typical distance0.4 miles
• Median of the 42 places measured in Minnesota0.6 miles

• Within a quarter mile of a mapped camera24% of the area
• Within half a mile of a mapped camera65% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Woodbury: 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 Woodbury to the nearest other one in Woodbury. Half of the gaps are shorter than 800 feet, and the middle half run from 350 feet to 0.3 miles. In Woodbury, 4 of 78 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 91% of the cameras here (71 of 78 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southeast, with 16 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 72 directions from 71 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 7 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, Woodbury has 10.4 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 75,102 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 Woodbury come from 9,251 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
