There are 6 mSpray enumerators (4,8,13,15,16,17). We are only mapping
what we perceive to be residential structures after getting local
context from our in-country partners to inform this. Sincere apologies
if this has caused a problem. We will work on the wrongfully
mapped/tagged buildings when we start validating what has been mapped so
far.
