Finding Our Way Through COVID-19 With Location Data

May 12, 2020

Gravy Analytics is pleased to announce that select COVID-19 data is now available on the AWS Data Exchange. More than 8 weeks into social distancing, we find ourselves with more questions than answers. The true reach of COVID-19, the necessary duration of social distancing, and long-term impact on jobs and our economy all remain unclear. What is clear is that the lack of solid data has hampered our ability to make more informed decisions.

In this spirit, Gravy Analytics is making select COVID-19 data and interactive dashboards available to the public for the foreseeable future. These use Gravy Visitations data to measure consumer foot traffic in an array of place categories – for a sample of brands – nationwide and at the state and city level.
