Co-location index: Mexico
docs(projects): fix A1 gap -- consolidate tier-index pages into co-location-tier-system.md and rewrite 7 atlas-co-location-index-* pages to remove deprecated Tier 5 star scheme, T1/T2/T3 Valid/Hub/Apex labels, and fabricated Nth-Degree Cluster framework (38 files); real V3 tier system (Regional/District/Local/Fringe) is the only vocabulary now in use, per SCORING-METHODOLOGY.md

The Mexico Co-location Index evaluates commercial nodes across the Mexican market using the [[co-location-methodology]] and the [[co-location-ranking-system|deterministic ranking system]].

Mexico is one of three markets covered in the [[co-location-tier-system|co-location tier system]]. ## Anchor Network Mexico is one of Walmart's most significant international markets. Walmart de México operates multiple formats; Walmart Supercentre — the co-location Primary Target — is present in major metropolitan markets including Mexico City (multiple locations), Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puebla, Querétaro, León, and Tijuana. Home Depot México operates approximately 140 stores; Costco México operates approximately 40 locations. Mexico's National System of Public Hospitals provides tertiary infrastructure in state capitals, alongside university campuses affiliated with UNAM, Tec de Monterrey, and regional public universities. ## Tier 5 convergence profile ## Regional-tier convergence profile A Tier 5 site in Mexico requires independent capital commitments from operators in all three matrix categories: Walmart Supercentre (Primary), Home Depot and Costco (Secondary), and a regional hospital plus university campus within the tertiary catchment radius. The large Walmart Supercentre footprint and the co-location pattern of Costco and Home Depot in Mexican metropolitan markets make Tier 5 achievable in mid-sized cities where civic infrastructure also concentrates. The full ranked index covers 300+ evaluated anchor locations. A Regional-tier site in Mexico clears the same predicate gates as any Regional cluster platform-wide: Walmart Supercentre paired with a warehouse or lifestyle secondary, top-decile catchment population nationally, and a regional hospital within the civic ring. Home Depot and Costco are the operators that most often satisfy the secondary gate. The large Walmart Supercentre footprint and the co-location pattern of Costco and Home Depot in Mexican metropolitan markets make Regional achievable in mid-sized cities where civic infrastructure also concentrates. ## Tier 5 (★★★★★) — Institutional convergence A Tier 5 site in Mexico is the matrix's highest validation: Primary Target (Walmart Supercentre), secondary anchors (Home Depot, Costco), and essential tertiary civic infrastructure all present within the required catchment radii. Independent capital commitments from operators in all three categories confirm the trade area's commercial strength. *The ranked site index for Mexico is available at [gis.woodfinegroup.com](https://gis.woodfinegroup.com).
