Hello,

Hi!

Dear Team,

We noticed that the number of visits reported in the "VISITOR_HOME_CBGS" column shows unexpected jumps from March 2023 through November 2024 in the monthly footprint data; before this period, the data looks normal. The values in this column are not even close to those in the "RAW_VISITOR_COUNTS" column. Ideally, these two columns should have similar, if not identical, values. However, we observed a significant discrepancy, which we have highlighted in red in the attached CSV file as an example. We would greatly appreciate any insights you could provide regarding potential reasons for this inconsistency and whether there is a known explanation for such a pattern. We have observed a similar trend in the weekly mobility data, although the variation there is much less pronounced than in the monthly data.

Dear Dewey team,

Is there more information on the sources of SafeGraph spending data? The documentation simply says "anonymized debit and credit card transaction data". The percentage of total spending relative to revenue reported in the company financials seem to vary across brands. We are wondering how representative the panel of consumers is and what the potential biases might be, which would be important to our search design.

Hi I think I should have access to data through an institutional subscription (UGA) but whenever I try to download something I get a message that my current plan doesn't have access to this data set.

The March 2025 and May 2025 files seem not available for downloading. If we run a date range from 2025-02-01 to 2025-06-01, only Feb and Apr files are found. March and May files are missing.

I have been getting the following error when running get_file_list for the Advan foot traffic monthly patterns:
