Published: July 2022

We show that the matrix element of a local operator between hadronic states can be used to unambiguously define the associated spatial density. As an explicit example, we consider the charge density of a spinless particle and clarify its relationship to the electric form factor. Our results lead to an unconventional interpretation of the spatial densities of local operators and their moments.
