Altadena Permit Map (2012-15)

Since last summer I've been requesting film permit data from FilmLA. As luck would have it, I stumbled across an online map with the data I've been requesting. (I wasn't even looking!) I don't know who produced it or where it came from, but after a bit of checking, it seems very credible. 

Using data from this map, I created a new map.  This new map shows the filming permits that have been issued to Altadena locations from 2012 to 2015.  Here's a link to this new map:

A few statistics from the 2012-2015 permit data:
Note:  It appears that permit data south of New York Drive is missing.
  • Total permits listed: 1435 
  • Permits were issued to 441 unique locations (note the actual number is closer to 400 because FilmLA does not use consistent names.)  
  • On average, 478 permits are issued on Altadena each year or about 10 permits per week. 
  • 35% of the permits were issued to 3%  of locations (13 locations were issued 508 permits)
  • 96% of all permits were issued to locations who received less than 4 permits/year
  • 163 permits were issued to Altadena Cemetery 
  • 54 permits were issued to the old Woodbury house 
  • 51 permits were issued to St Elizabeth Church 
Here's a link to a document that summarizes all permits/location:

If you have Google Earth, you can get a better view. Here's a .kmz file:
