San Francisco Street Vendor Permits with Location Data

Street Vendor Permits issued by the San Francisco Department of Public Works include vendor location and goods sold. The dataset refreshes weekly from the department's system of record. 'Roaming' vendors lack specific latitude and longitude coordinates.

Use Cases

• Map vendor density based on the approximate location data mentioned in the description.
• Analyze the types of goods sold by street vendors based on the goods sold field.
• Monitor active permit statuses for regulatory compliance.
• Compare stationary and roaming vendor operations based on the presence or absence of geospatial coordinates.

Strengths

• Data is refreshed weekly, providing regular updates.
• Includes geospatial coordinates for vendors with fixed locations.
• Originates from the authoritative Department of Public Works system of record.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• 'Roaming' vendors lack latitude and longitude coordinates, limiting spatial analysis for those entries.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
