1. A processor-implemented method, the method comprising:
identifying a plurality of devices as entering a preconfigured distance of a preconfigured area, wherein the preconfigured area is one of a plurality of preconfigured areas;
gathering device-identifying information corresponding to the devices for mapping to an entity;
creating a device profile corresponding to the entity using the device-identifying data;
correlating device movements across the plurality of preconfigured areas using the device profile associated with each device of the plurality of devices;
wherein correlating comprises merging each device profile for the entity based on the movements; and
calculating a population density based on the correlated device movements.
