OSMnx · Compute statistics

Morphometrics for the Burjassot network, circuity, centrality, and street orientation as an entropy value and a polar rose. Mirrors the Statistics panel.

Needs a downloaded and projected drive network (Clean up the graph).

1. Basic statistics

Run Estimate Area first for the network’s spatial extent, then Basic Stats for node and edge counts, average degree, street density and total street length.

Basic statistics for the Burjassot network.

2. Circuity

The ratio of network distance to straight-line distance. Values near 1.0 mean a straight, grid-like layout.

Circuity measures how direct the street network is.

3. Centrality

Kind picks Betweenness (node), Betweenness (edge) or Closeness, and Weighted decides whether edge weights count. Results land as attributes you can drive colors from.

Edge betweenness centrality colored along the streets.

4. Orientation entropy and rose

Both need bearings, so run Add Edge Bearings first (Add edge attributes). Entropy is a single value: higher means less grid-like, more organic. The rose is a polar histogram across Rose Bins buckets (default 36).

A polar rose of street orientations for Burjassot.
