The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Oklahoma City to the nearest other one in Oklahoma City. Half of the gaps are shorter than 450 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 0.3 miles. In Oklahoma City, 117 of 379 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 94% of the cameras here (356 of 379 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is north, with 64 cameras. Because 9 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 365 directions from 356 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 22 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, Oklahoma City has 5.6 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 681,054 residents there. Among the places measured nationwide, the median is 8.1 mapped cameras for every 10,000 residents.
