Mapped city names

These names are used to associate directory records with Msinga.

Undercount risk by service class

Compare categories carefully: some service classes are easier to map than others.

NGOs and shelters

Higher undercount risk

NGO and shelter coverage is often the least complete because services open, close, move, or operate informally without a stable public listing footprint.

Police

Lower undercount risk

Police station networks tend to be more standardized and publicly visible, so police counts are usually more complete than NGO or shelter counts.

Hospitals and clinics

Medium undercount risk

Hospitals and clinics are easier to map than NGOs, but category boundaries, service scope, and emergency capability still vary in ways simple counts do not capture.

Ambulance and EMS

Medium undercount risk

EMS coverage can be hard to interpret because bases, dispatch footprints, private services, and actual response capacity are not the same thing.
