[talk-au] Filling in blank space (Was Re: Tagging towns by relative importance, not just population size)

[Bob Cameron]

To be honest Graeme I look at key services specific to my need. Kind of 
like a weighted value that only applies to me. The use of a macro label 
hamlet, village, town are kind of too open ended. Population does 
roughly track with services so I tend to use that as  rough start, but 
never a decision.

I would actually rate the local mobile phone signal/bandwidth as the 
most important service. <grin>

The problem is how to define what is most useful for the end data 
consumer that doesn't want to line up the details for comparison. How 
does one define "most useful" that suits most? (This having been 
mentioned in prior posts)
