Undercount risk by service class
Compare categories carefully: some service classes are easier to map than others.
NGOs and shelters
Higher undercount riskNGO 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 riskPolice 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 riskHospitals 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 riskEMS coverage can be hard to interpret because bases, dispatch footprints, private services, and actual response capacity are not the same thing.
