Updated monthly to reflect dynamic real world change, SafeGraph’s datasets include accurate and precise geocodes for places, as well as detailed context about those places, such as open date, place type, and related consumer behavior.
These datasets are often used in research that explores geographic trends in economic conditions, migration, and risk modeling.
All SafeGraph datasets utilize placekey as the primary key and are formatted as delimited CSVs.
