Format scored: A small-animal practice: £55 average consult, 2 vets, weekdays plus Saturday morning.

Computed 12 September 2026 over 331 Glasgow street segments. Every figure carries its label: OBSERVED, AREA CONTEXT or MODELLED.

How this ranking works

One fixed concept is scored against every one of the 331 Glasgow street segments in the Location Potential dataset: station entries and exits (National Rail: ORR Estimates of Station Usage 2024-25 (annual; day-of-week split modelled)), recorded venues within the concept's competition radius (400 m to 1 km by type) from OpenStreetMap, Census 2022 (Scotland) residents for the local Data Zone, and rent context from the Scottish Assessors valuation roll. Scores and revenue figures are MODELLED planning estimates with fixed, published rules, not observed takings. The full method, sources and limits are on the Method page.
