Petrol stations in Valencia

A uniform lattice of 823 circles, each 400 m across, counted against a complete city extract — never capped, never sampled. Captured 2026-08-23.

What the survey measured

Circle counts overlap adjacent ground by construction, so they are deliberately never summed into a city total — the densest reading and the occupied share are the measurements.

Where the passing trade is, and petrol stations are not

The measured circles ranked by daily meal-time arrivals at the door against the competition counted in the circle — a heuristic for where to look, not a measurement of opportunity. Arrivals at the door are apportioned, not counted: the district's measured total shared out by where its places are. 571 circles ranked, 170 unmeasured at the door, 16 with nothing trading within reach; the top five:

• ranked by the mean of two percentiles — a heuristic for where to look, not a measurement of opportunity
• arrivals at the door are apportioned, never counted: the district’s measured total shared out by where its places are — tested across districts, assumed within them
• unmeasured at the door, listed apart: districts beyond the surveyed ground, circles that outgrow their district, circles with nothing trading within reach
• the sweep samples denser where the category is commonest: these are the gaps found, not all the gaps
• arrivals are resampled to residents — foreign visitors under-represented, so a tourist-area gap may be the denominator’s blind spot
• scarcity measures absence, not viability: none of this category on little trade still ranks scarce — the residents count is the quick check
• Basado en datos abiertos MITMA
• the sharing key checked across 29 fully surveyed districts: ρ 0.96; a held-out district missed by ×1.4 typically — read a position, not a last digit
