The United States is one of three markets covered in the [[atlas-tier-index-north-america|North American tier index]]. The index identifies the highest-tier nodes — sites where multiple independent capital commitments by retailers and civic institutions confirm the trade area's commercial strength. The full ranked index is available at [gis.woodfinegroup.com](https://gis.woodfinegroup.com). ## Tier 5 (★★★★★) — Full co-location A Tier 5 site is the matrix's highest validation: a Primary Target (Walmart Supercentre), secondary anchors (Costco, Home Depot), and essential tertiary civic infrastructure — a major hospital and a university — all present within the required catchment radii. The United States dataset contains 85 Tier 5 sites as of 2 May 2026, representing 2.4% of evaluated anchor locations. ## See also * [[atlas-tier-index-north-america]] * [[co-location-methodology]] * [[co-location-ranking-system]] --- *Copyright © 2026 Woodfine Capital Projects Inc.
