I’m working with the monthly foot traffic data for the Kansas Metropolitan area, focusing specifically on the variable VISITOR_HOME_CBGS.

I’m analyzing visits to food store POIs from different CBGs and noticed something unusual: a significant number of CBGs show no mobility history—not just to food stores, but to any POI in 2023. While I understand that some CBGs might represent hilly or less populated areas, many of them are residential neighborhoods, which seems quite unexpected.

I’m wondering if I might be overlooking something or if there could be an issue with the dataset itself. Your insights would be greatly appreciated!
