“I am using SafeGraph’s data for my researching related to hourly popularity of venues. Previously, I could not find any data source providing hourly popularity of venues. Foursquare may be a candidate, but its API has so many restrictions and only provides a total visit count for each venue. However, SafeGraph provides hourly popularity of venues. It also provides hours of operations for venues, and devices staying so long time for each venue. This way, I can know which part of popularity is contributed by the employees of a venue. By subtracting it, I can know the real popularity contributed by customers. I am really happy that SafeGraph’s data helps move forward my research!”

“After evaluating a number of POI data vendors, it was clear that SafeGraph's data is the most accurate. Although they don't convert as many POI as other providers, you know the ones they have in their data are accurate. Their docs and resources are also really helpful. I use their matching service regularly to clean up our data and rely on their Patterns data for our site selection and demand planning. ”

“Very useful dataset! We used SafeGraph dataset to examine the visiting behavior of people to different alcohol outlets, like bars and liquor stores. The dataset covers the entire US and provides good privacy protection (as the data are aggregated to POIs and census block groups).”

“We work at the intersection of academia and business with an on-campus consulting class. As we tried to find traffic data, SafeGraph became the choice. Most other data vendors required generalized purchases like the entire state or city. We didn't need that much data. Plus, it added a lot of complications in data munging and experience with complex spatial formats. With SafeGraph, we could get a complex set of spatial data in a compact and tidy table format for only the specific locations that we needed. The shop.safegraph.com store is simple to work with and easy to navigate. Their Slack community is impressive. Questions are generally answered in minutes. I am a big fan.”

“I use SafeGraph for location data, visits data, and spend data. It takes a little bit to get going (if you know Python, R, STATA, or another common language), perhaps a couple of hours. The data have proven to be predictive and quite useful for many types of projects. Well worth the money.”

“I'm an academic that uses Safegraph for modeling demand to different in-person businesses. Their data is clean, extremely well documented and Safegraph's team responds almost immediately when I have a concern. Their geometry data (shapefiles of business locations) is quite impressive in terms of coverage and precision. With Safegraph data, I was able to recover very high-frequency demand data, something that is rare and particularly useful when matching this data with other high-frequency datasets.”

“I used SafeGraphs patterns, core, and census block group geometries data. Very easy to use and nicely aggregated data. The reason I'm giving 4 stars for data volume is because for the whole month there were around 2k visitors to a POI which seems a little on the lower side. This could be due to limitations in data collection”

“SafeGraph's data has proven particularly useful in site selection and evaluating competitive opportunities. They have a ton of resources available to help you get started, which is important because their product offering can be a bit daunting at first. In our experience, SafeGraph data is most valuable when joined with other datasets, such as US Census demographics. We're excited to use their non-USA products next!”

“I used SafeGraph for point data and I found that it was farily easy to import into R without a lot of cleaning. The only kind of cleaning that I needed to do was to organize all the locations; however, for the most part the locations were consistent with the category of the data that I pulled. If I did have any trouble with the data I was able to get hep through the slack channel. In general the data was easy to use, there was a large volume that was worth the money and support is there. ”

Data Sources & Collection

We onboard data from thousands of diverse sources. We compare, de-dupe, cross-reference, and discard bad data.

Our building footprints are derived from satellite imagery and supplemented with hand-drawn polygons.

We use machine learning and human feedback to associate POI business listing info with building footprints.

We algorithmically classify brands and denote spatial hierarchy. POIs (like restaurants) can exist within other POIs (like airports).

Key Differentiators

ALL OF THE SIGNAL, NONE OF THE NOISE
Business category, open hours, and more are associated with each place. Closed stores can be filtered out. Irrelevant businesses (like home LLCs with no employees) are kept out.

DETAILED & ACCURATE GEOMETRY
Building footprints are derived from satellite imagery and places are spatially hierarchical. Polygons for sub-stores are specified and tied to their parent store geometry (e.g. Starbucks inside a strip mall). SafeGraph’s geofences offer the most precise understanding in the market on where stores are located.
