Local Footprint

Local Footprint is a dataset that identifies the location, strength, nature and catchment of retail locations – from the smallest retail strips to distinct zones within major city centres. Using mobile data, it also provides insight into who is using the centre. They’re shown by Acorn type and the purpose of their visit and split by time of day, day of week, seasonality and speed of travel.
