Description

From Google: "Each Community Mobility Report dataset is presented by location and highlights the percent change in visits to places like grocery stores and parks within a geographic area.

Location accuracy and the understanding of categorized places varies from region to region, so we don<U+2019>t recommend using this data to compare changes between countries, or between regions with different characteristics (e.g. rural versus urban areas).

Changes for each day are compared to a baseline value for that day of the week: The baseline is the median value, for the corresponding day of the week, during the 5-week period Jan 3<U+2013>Feb 6, 2020. The datasets show trends over several months with the most recent data representing approximately 2-3 days ago<U+2014>this is how long it takes to produce the datasets."

• retail and recreation

• grocery and pharmacy

• parks

• transit stations
