We were working on the Safegraph and Advan data. We noticed that Advan has "RAW_NUM_CUSTOMERS" and Safegraph has "RAW_VISITOR_COUNTS". Are these two variables connected?

I am wondering how the backfills actually work in the weekly patterns foot-traffic data. I understand that they are generated monthly, whenever a new Advan POI is added to the dataset and that this basically constitutes a back-attribution of past traffic in that POI's polygon. Does this revise any of the visit counts for nearby POIs? For instance, say I have two businesses next to each other and one is newly identified as a POI. Does the algorithm re-attribute some of the visits that were previously recorded under Business A to the newly-added Business B?

How do I filter the Veraset “Home visits” and “Work Visits” Data? The “Visits” data alows for custom date range downloads when using the API but the other two only allows you to download the full datasets which are well over 600GB. I only need data for the city of Miami FL for the month of September 2024. Is there a way I can get a custom extract?

Hello,

Hi,

Hi Sir/Madam,
I hope this email finds you well. I appreciate it if you can share insights on three questions I have about branded POIs.

Hello!

Dear whom it may concern,

Do the address variables in the BQ occupational wage data reflect headquarters or locations?

For each vehicle in this dataset, there is a variable "INFERREDDATE" which is described as "Inferred Purchase Date Code". According to the data dictionary, the code is something like "A - 0-6 months, B - 7-12 months, etc.". So it is a relative date (how long ago it was purchased, maybe?). Does anyone know how to figure out a reference date? Like how many months ago it was purchased relative to the date the consumer was surveyed? I cannot find a survey date or any other date in this data or the corresponding Consumer Profiles data. To perform my analysis, I need to know at least in which calendar year a vehicle was purchased. Thanks for any advice!
