The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Cleveland to the nearest other one in Cleveland. Half of the gaps are shorter than 450 feet, and the middle half run from 250 feet to 0.2 miles. In Cleveland, 54 of 230 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 (210 of 230 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is east, with 37 cameras. Because 7 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 217 directions from 210 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 11 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, Cleveland has 6.2 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 372,624 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 Cleveland come from 5,060 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
