SafeGraph Global Places (POI) & Geometry
Description
SafeGraph Global Places and Geometry data provides points of interest (POIs) and building footprints for any place in the world that is not a private residence. Attributes for each POI include place name, brand affiliation, address string, lat/long coordinate, NAICS code and category, detailed category tags, and more. Attributes for each building footprint include location name, area (square meters), polygon type (synthetic or real), whether or not the polygon is enclosed or owned by another, and related parking. The two datasets can be easily joined via the Placekey unique identifier to provide more context about each place and how places relate to each other. POIs can be easily mapped with latitude and longitude coordinates or address string, and building footprints can be mapped using the well-known text (WKT) column. POIs and polygons representing place footprints, including detailed spatial hierarchy metadata that denotes how places are related to each other (ie. stores inside a shopping mall, co-tenants in a plaza, etc.).
