+# Co-location Index: United States
+
+The United States Co-location Index serves as the definitive benchmark for commercial convergence across the North American market. Evaluated through the rigorous [Retail Co-location Methodology](topic-co-location-methodology.md), this index identifies the "Top 400" commercial nodes that exhibit the highest degree of institutional-grade retail synergy.
+
+In the Woodfine ranking system, these locations are not merely high-traffic zones; they represent the apex of validated commercial real estate, where the convergence of primary anchors and critical infrastructure creates a self-sustaining economic ecosystem.
+
+## Tier 5 (★★★★★) — The Pinnacle of Convergence
+
+A Tier 5 designation is the commercial equivalent of a three-star Michelin rating: a node so exceptionally well-structured that it is "worth a special journey" for capital deployment. These sites feature the simultaneous presence of a Primary Target (Walmart Supercentre), Secondary anchors (Costco, Home Depot), and essential Tertiary civic infrastructure.
