- # Google Community Mobility Reports — Standardized Time Series
14
-
15
- This dataset contains the [Google Community Mobility Reports](https://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/), which show movement trends by region and category (Retail & recreation, Grocery & pharmacy, Parks, Transit stations, Workplaces, and Residential).
16
-
17
- ### Coverage
18
- - **Time:** 2020-02-15 2022-10-15 (Official end of Google's data collection)
19
- - **Geography levels:** National and Subnational (State/County/Region)
20
- - **Countries:** Global (Multiple countries included)
21
-
22
- ### Columns
23
- | Column | Unit | Description |
24
- | --- | --- | --- |
25
- | **date** | YYYY-MM-DD | Date of the report. |
26
- | **location_id** | String | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code or specific region code. |
27
- | **retail_and_recreation** | % change | Change in visits to places like restaurants, cafes, etc. |
28
- | **grocery_and_pharmacy** | % change | Change in visits to grocery markets and pharmacies. |
29
- | **transit_stations** | % change | Change in visits to public transport hubs. |
30
- | **workplaces** | % change | Change in visits to places of work. |
31
-
32
- ### Interpretation Caveats
33
- - **Baseline:** The data shows how visits and stay length change compared to a baseline day (the median value for the 5-week period Jan 3–Feb 6, 2020).
34
- - **Privacy:** Google uses differential privacy to ensure no individual's movement can be identified. Some data points may be null if the privacy threshold isn't met.
35

+ ## Interpretation caveats
194
+
195
+ Things that may differ from how other sources define a similar measure. If you're combining this dataset with another, read these first.
196
+
197
+ - **`residential`** — Residential is reported as % change in *length of stay*, not visit
198
+ count. The other five categories are visit-based. Don't sum or compare
199
+ directly across these two flavours.
200
+
201
+ - **`parks`** — Parks shows extreme seasonal cyclicity (winter vs. summer is a 200%+
202
+ swing in many countries) that reflects normal seasonality, not
203
+ pandemic-period behaviour change. Detrend before any pandemic analysis.
204
+
205
+ - **`workplaces`** — Holidays / weekends are baked into the baseline since the baseline is
206
+ a median across weekdays + weekends. Day-of-week cycles in the output
207
+ are real but reflect *deviation* from the comparable weekday's baseline.
