Country-level co-location indices and tier indices sit alongside the two lists and supply the underlying cluster data the ranking is built from. **39 individual market profile pages** exist today (EN+ES pairs), each with population and economic context sourced from Wikipedia. **17 of these are verified entries in the Top 400 ranked lists** and are wikilinked directly from the ranked tables — Plano, Mississauga, Frisco, Tempe, Torrance, Provo, Kenner, and Eagan in North America; Chemnitz-adjacent Krefeld, Kaiserslautern, Bielsko-Biała, Chambéry, Järfälla, York, Breda, Warrington, Cherwell, and Northampton in Europe. **22 profile pages describe markets outside the current Top-400 ranked pool** — either functioning as metro-core reference points for other ranked entries (e.g. Augsburg, Nuremberg, Colorado Springs) or as standalone-secondary markets beyond the 80 km suburban-regional band (e.g. Wichita, Zaragoza, Spokane) — each says so explicitly rather than presenting an unranked market as if it were ranked. **41 individual market profile pages** exist today (EN+ES pairs), each with population and economic context sourced from Wikipedia — corrected 2026-07-16 from a stale count of 39. **20 of these are verified entries in the Top 400 ranked lists** and are wikilinked directly from the ranked tables. Three of the twenty (Plano, Spartanburg/Greenville, and Cheshire West and Chester) were real TOP400 entries whose continental-table rows lacked a wikilink to their existing profile page until this pass — fixed alongside this table, not left as a silent gap. **Verified TOP400 entries (20):** | Profile | Market | Continent | |---|---|---| | [[us-tx-plano]] | Plano, TX (rank 1) | North America | | [[ca-on-mississauga]] | Mississauga, ON (rank 4) | North America | | [[us-tx-frisco]] | Frisco, TX (rank 3) | North America | | [[us-sc-greenville-spartanburg]] | Spartanburg, SC (rank 45) | North America | | [[us-az-tempe]] | Tempe, AZ (rank 35) | North America | | [[us-ca-torrance]] | Torrance, CA (rank 112) | North America | | [[us-ut-provo-orem]] | Provo, UT (rank 278) | North America | | [[us-la-kenner]] | Kenner, LA (rank 333) | North America | | [[us-mn-eagan]] | Eagan, MN (rank 372) | North America | | [[de-nw-krefeld]] | Krefeld, Stadt (rank 5) | Europe | | [[de-rp-kaiserslautern]] | Kaiserslautern, Stadt (rank 4) | Europe | | [[fr-chambery]] | Chambéry (rank 33) | Europe | | [[se-jarfalla]] | Järfälla (rank 60) | Europe | | [[gb-eng-york]] | York (rank 266) | Europe | | [[nl-breda]] | Breda (rank 286) | Europe | | [[gb-eng-warrington]] | Warrington (rank 294) | Europe | | [[gb-eng-cherwell]] | Cherwell (rank 368) | Europe | | [[gb-eng-northampton]] | Northampton (rank 372) | Europe | | [[pl-bielsko-biala]] | Bielsko-Biała | Europe | | [[gb-eng-chester]] | Cheshire West and Chester (rank 32) | Europe | **Reference-only profiles (21)** — real places, but not currently ranked TOP400 entries: either metro-core reference points for other ranked entries, or standalone markets outside the 15–80 km suburban band.
