Boundary coverage — honestly reported

Every layer below is real, sourced, and cited — but not every layer is complete. Gaps are surfaced, not hidden.

Region boundaries4 / 4 · 100.0%

geoBoundaries ADM4 — ambiguous name matches excluded

Parish / ward boundaries423 / 10,717 · 3.9%

HDX admin4, 2020 vintage — genuinely thin coverage

Major road networknot tied to admin units

10,721 OpenStreetMap segments (motorway–tertiary). A road crosses many districts and subcounties, so it isn't scored against a unit count the way boundaries are.
