Today, SafeGraph is excited to launch a new platform for making places, points-of-interest (POI), and consumer foot-traffic data available to the world for free: SafeGraph Facts.

SafeGraph Places and Patterns are rich datasets covering 6MM places (points-of-interest, or POI) in the USA and Canada (focused on places where consumers can spend money). Safegraph Places includes detailed metadata and geospatial data about each place, and SafeGraph Patterns features powerful aggregated foot-traffic data for over 3.6MM POI in the USA.

For SafeGraph Facts, we have brought together an extremely high fidelity archive on over 5,000 brands covering over 150 industries and 6 million places across the United States and Canada, derived from SafeGraph Places and Patterns.

SafeGraph Facts are aggregations and summaries of SafeGraph Places & Patterns, made easily discoverable and searchable.

Just a few of over 150 industries, 50 regions, 5000 brands, and 6 million POI covered by SafeGraph Facts.
