Technical Description

Estimated number of visits per acre between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025 based on Placer.ai’s statistical extrapolation of aggregated, anonymized cell phone data. Roughly 50 parks do not have visitation data because Placer.ai’s privacy policy precludes publishing data on sensitive locations such as schools and small sites with only playgrounds to protect younger park users.² These sites will be considered to have median visitation in the prioritization process.
