Key findings
- San Francisco leads the dataset with 32 documented restrooms, 9% of the statewide total counted here.
- 242 of 353 (69%) are recorded as free. The rest are marked paid or have no fee recorded, so “not free” is not a safe conclusion.
- 288 of 353 (82%) have wheelchair access recorded. Missing access information means unknown, not inaccessible.
- 72 have baby changing recorded and 16 are recorded as open 24 hours.
- 4 of the 7 city areas we track have fewer than 10 documented restrooms. That reflects what is documented, not how many exist. These are the places where community additions help most.

How this report is made
Every number above is calculated live from public restroom records in the WayLoo database. Nothing is estimated or extrapolated. Records come from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), official city data such as DataSF and the San Francisco Public Works Pit Stop program, and WayLoo community submissions.
Facilities restricted to customers, residents, students, employees, members or private use, and records with closure notes that need review, are held back instead of counted. A record counts as documented only when it has a usable name, a valid location and at least two recorded details such as fee, wheelchair access, hours or facilities.
Counts show what is documented, not how many restrooms exist. Fees, hours and access can change, so check posted signs. Cleanliness ratings are not part of this report. You can add or confirm a restroom in the app.
