Methodology notes:
GPS data is approximated to the total population using available Census data.
LRS is measured using the distance decay function.
Data sources:
Visitation is assessed using GPS mobile phone data from Cuebiq (Spectus), enriched with additional proprietary and public domain GPS and Census data.
Business numbers are measured using OpenStreetMap and Google data.
Travel time is assessed using OpenStreetMap and Google data.
