Mapbox Movement US Daily Activity Index - Sample

Mapbox Movement is a privacy-forward dataset of device density, activity, and movement over time drawn from 700M+ users and 45,000+ different mobile apps globally contributing 20B+ live location updates daily. The dataset captures significant driving and non-driving mobile device activity aggregated into geographic tiles of 100-meter resolution (approx. 1 city block) and administrative boundaries (states/counties). Mapbox Movement dataset provides a high-definition view of how, where, and when people move through a city or specific geography

Mapbox uses Subscription Verification for every product on AWS Data Exchange. Subscribers with intended applications from the unsupported use cases list below be declined.

Examples of unsupported use cases: attempts to track individual identities or demographics from the data set, targeted surveillance efforts, requesting a stream of “raw” (unaggregated) location data, analysis of small group activities or minor events in sparsely populated areas, and analysis of stationary activity.

The data set Includes a metric of mobile device activity in the sample region and time period, aggregated daily by zoom:18 “quadkey” tiles  (approx. 100m-sized grids). The counts are normalized and low-volume areas are excluded from the data to protect user privacy. See Privacy Policy  and Telemetry  for more info. This data cut is specifically baselined using January 2020 as “normal."

Data schema:

• geography: ID of the zoom:18 quadkey grid tile
• xlon, xlat: coordinates of the grid tile centroid
• bounds: bounding box of the grid tile
• activity_index_total: normalized activity factor
• agg_day_period: date (local time)
