Red states map 1.9× more Flock cameras than blue states — but per state the gap is far smaller
Asked:“Compare and contrast the amount of flock cameras deployed in red states versus blue states”
A community-mapped snapshot from September 1, 2026 covers 104,743 locations tagged as Flock Safety equipment across 48 states (Alaska and Hawaii could not be fetched). States are red or blue by the 2024 presidential popular-vote winner. Counts are publicly mapped locations, a documented floor — not an official inventory.
Total, mean, and median — three ways to compare
Where the cameras are: every state, colored by 2024 result
Fill depth = mapped Flock-tagged locations; red = Trump 2024, blue = Harris 2024. Alaska and Hawaii not covered (gray). Hover for details.
California leads all states with 15,334 mapped Flock locations — 42.9% of the entire blue total — just ahead of Texas at 14,341.

Four red states — Texas, Georgia (8,078), Florida (6,879), and Ohio (5,799) — together hold 35,097 locations, more than half the red total.

Flock-tagged devices are 85.6% of all mapped ALPRs in red states versus 77.7% in blue states; New York is an outlier at 47.0% Flock.

The median covered red state maps 1,345.5 Flock locations versus 794.5 in blue states — a 69.4% gap that persists after normalizing for the count of states.

CaveatsCamera data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors; positions are community-mapped estimates and coverage reflects volunteer effort, so every count is a floor, not a total. Only locations explicitly tagged Flock Safety enter the partisan comparison; all-ALPR totals are context only. Alaska (red) and Hawaii (blue) are absent. The comparison is descriptive — it does not show that party control caused deployment.

Community-mapped snapshot of ALPR locations collected September 1, 2026 from flockcamera.app state pages (OpenStreetMap-derived). 48 state rows plus two party summaries; Alaska and Hawaii unavailable. A count is one mapped location tagged as Flock Safety equipment, not a verified installed camera. City-level detail cut for space.
