SafeGraph Places points of interest (POIs) data provide information about geographical places in the real world, such as gasoline stations, entertainment venues, grocery stores, restaurants, and so on.

UrbanFootprint Base Canvas

The UrbanFootprint Base Canvas is a geospatial dataset that reflects existing land use and demographics at the parcel or census block resolution.

The Base Canvas includes attributes that describe land use, demographics, and development for each parcel or census block feature. UrbanFootprint's Base Canvas creation process incorporates a number of data sources to populate the attribute columns, including population and housing data from the decennial census and American Community Survey; employment data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program; point of interest data from various sources; and parcel data for over 160 million US parcels.
