Published formula
Core errands within 1 km 25%, within 2 km 20%, within 3 km 10%, nearest core-service proximity 20%, consumer-service breadth within 2 km 15%, and category breadth inside the reporting boundary 10%.
Distances are approximate from central community locations, not walking times. A business licence is not a recommendation and does not prove current hours, accessibility, quality or continued operation. Dental remains visible but is not scored because this source under-represents it; licensed child care is scored separately and banking is not inferred.
Evidence used
This is a direct comparison. The current ingredients include active business licences, grocery and market records, pharmacy records, health-clinic records, 1/2/3 km service rings, nearest core-service proximity, consumer-category breadth.
