Exclusions
- The count is not population-normalized and is not a ranking, service-quality score, or accessibility-chain claim.
- A missing geometry or uncomputable input remains null; it is not converted to zero.
- The count does not assert that a location is open now.
Uncertainty and interpretation
- This is a current imported-data count. It can change after a source import and does not estimate unrecorded assets.
