Hello,

I am working with Veraset mobility data for Michigan from January 2022 through January 2026 and have a question about the relationship between the Visits and Home/Work datasets after Home and Work locations were separated into their own products in 2023.

Specifically, for the post-2023 data:

• Does the Visits dataset still contain all location observations, with Home and Work locations simply identified separately in the Home and Work datasets?
• Or are the Visits and Home/Work datasets mutually exclusive, such that observations classified as Home or Work are removed from the Visits dataset and are available only in the corresponding Home or Work files?

In other words, if I want to reconstruct a complete mobility history for each CAID, do I need to combine Visits + Home + Work data, or does the Visits dataset already contain all location observations?

Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
