April Update to Advan Weekly Patterns Plus
Hi, I am comparing a pull I made from April 2 to a pull I made today and I'm noticing that particularly for NAICS 71 (Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation), there is a very large difference in the number of POIs. I am looking at the count of POIs for each week in the year 2025 and I see an approximately 33% increase in the number of POIs in this supersector between today's pull and the previous. The other supersectors don't have this. It looks like about 62k POIs were added to the panel and backfilled. Is this correct? Is it possible that we could have some kind of variable added to this dataset that marks when a POI is a recent add to the vintage? This is not something that's easy for a user to perform themselves as it requires comparison of two POI-level vintages. Thanks

Hi,
Advan Weekly Patterns: What version of tract/cbg boundary used
Hi,
Access to data
Hi, I'm a student researcher at UC Berkeley. My institution has a Dewey subscription, but the "Get Data" button for Advan Monthly Patterns of Foot Traffic / Monthly Patterns is grayed out. Could you let me know if this dataset is included in our institutional subscription, or if there's a way to access it for academic research purposes?
Thank you!
