Documentation

This datasets aggregates the cityiq.io-pedestrians-san_diego dataset by census block, time of day and day of week. The time of day is represented as:

  • morning: 6:00 to 11:00
  • lunch: 11:00 to 13:00
  • afternoon: 13:00 to 15:00
  • evening: 17:00 to 22:00
  • night: 22:00 to 6:00

Pedestrian densities are in terms of the average of the pedestrians per hour for the walkways in a block, but the density value should only be used as a relative value.
