The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Mesquite to the nearest other one in Mesquite. Half of the gaps are shorter than 1,000 feet, and the middle half run from 300 feet to 0.5 miles. In Mesquite, 10 of 77 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 96% of the cameras here (74 of 77 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southeast, with 18 cameras. Because 3 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 77 directions from 74 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 3 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, Mesquite has 5.1 mapped cameras. The 2020 Census counted 150,108 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 Mesquite come from 12,785 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
