Its primary role is to filter raw civic data to retain only regional-grade facilities — hospitals, universities, and major transport hubs — ensuring that GIS tier rankings reflect institutional-level concentration rather than local-service density. GIS tier rankings depend on knowing where regional institutions sit, not where every clinic and community college sits. **`service-places`** filters raw civic data to retain only regional-grade facilities — hospitals with at least 50 staffed beds, universities with at least 1,000 full-time-equivalent students, validated major regional transport hubs — and applies a 200 m spatial buffer to consolidate large institutional campuses into single regional anchors. Local-service density is filtered out at this stage; downstream rankings reflect institutional concentration rather than facility count. ## Filtering Thresholds @@ -37,9 +39,3 @@ The resulting `cleansed-places.jsonl` provides the regional anchor dataset that - [[service-fs-data-lake]] - [[service-business-clustering]] - [[app-orchestration-gis]] --- *Copyright © 2026 Woodfine Capital Projects Inc.
