Why are certain places Pokemon nests and not others?

Just curious if anyone has any information on why certain places, usually parks, are pokemon nests while others aren't. I think part of me just wishes my nearby park with 4 stops and a gym would have qualified to be in the nest rotation. Does it have something to do with Ingress? Cell phone traffic combined with whether or not it's a public recreational spot seems to be the best candidate. However that doesn't seem to explain why some similar areas are nests and others are not. I highly doubt these spots were manually chosen. I'm just highly curious as to if anyone knows or has any theories. Edit: I use Silph Road Atlas to find nests.

I'd guess the nests are random and they change around. My park is a nest of Pidgeys, rats and weedles. ;) I used to have a Drowzee nest at my park. They have moved on and nothing has replaced them. Now its recurring spawns but nothing nest-like (except pidgeys and rats)

Really? Hmmmm most of the nests I keep an eye on seem to just use the migration and turn into something else. Never seen one turn into a non nest. Your Drowzee nest wasn't during the Halloween event was it? I'm sure it wasn't but I just don't see why it would've stopped being a nest point.

Some stay and just change species, others disappear and new ones crop up. I lost one in a field near my house a few migrations ago (before the Halloween event), but the last migration saw a new nest occur where I've never seen one before - only Magmar, but I'm keeping fingers crossed for the next migrations :-)

Where I live we used to be inundated with Drowzee + water Pokemon. Nowadays, it's just water Pokemon and you don't see many Drowzee. So I think in addition to nest migrations they have just changed a lot of spawn habits of certain Pokemon.
