How fast it grew
Cameras in the Boise area by the year they entered the public record. The recent surge tracks a real, nationwide buildout of automatic plate readers — not a mapping artifact.

How these numbers are made. We count every camera on the open OpenStreetMap / DeFlock record within roughly 25 miles of Boise's center, then rank that metro against 170 others. Suburbs fold into their principal city, so each metro is counted once. "Added since 2024" uses the date a camera entered the public map — an approximation of when it was deployed, not an exact install date. The data is community-maintained and may be incomplete; figures describe what has been mapped, not a guarantee of every device present. Licensed
