The dashboard visualizes "stay at home" behavior, quantified as the percent of people staying home all day (see below for how we define "home") during shelter in place orders. The SafeGraph Shelter in Place Index (or Stay at Home Index) is not based on units of distance traveled. This way, this dashboard enables better comparisons between rural, suburban, and urban areas, even though the former generally travel greater distances for essential activities like grocery shopping. The Shelter in Place Index (also called the Stay at Home Index) represents the change (as a difference) in the % of people staying home compared to baseline. The index spans -100% to 100%, where 0 (zero) is no change from baseline. Baseline is defined as the average percent of people staying home each day across the seven days ending February 12, 2020.
