The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Paradise to the nearest other one in Paradise. Half of the gaps are shorter than 100 feet, and the middle half run from under 20 feet to 350 feet. In Paradise, 79 of 121 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 88% of the cameras here (107 of 121 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is west, with 20 cameras. Because 1 camera carries two directions and is counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 108 directions from 107 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 13 cameras here.

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

In Paradise, 97 of 121 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 80% of the cameras here.

• Public agency65 cameras
• Private32 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded24 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.

The distance and area figures for Paradise come from 11,031 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.

Paradise is a census-designated place: a named community the Census Bureau draws a boundary for, with no municipal government of its own.
