Data and Insight

At InExeter, we are committed to ensuring that our business community is equipped with the most relevant and timely information about our city. Understanding the dynamics of Exeter’s economic and social environment is vital for making informed decisions, and we strive to keep our members ahead of the curve.

‎We operate a network of seven footfall cameras strategically placed around the city to monitor pedestrian traffic. This crucial data allows us to capture and analyse trends in real-time, helping businesses understand customer patterns and plan effectively. Our members can access weekly and monthly footfall reports, which are available free of charge, providing a detailed breakdown of activity in key areas.

Keeping track of vacancy rates is essential for maintaining the vitality of our city centre. We use this data to collaborate with Exeter City Council, commercial agents, and property owners, influencing decision-making processes and strategies aimed at revitalising and maximising the use of commercial spaces. Our proactive approach helps anticipate market changes and supports the sustainable development of Exeter.
