Co-location Tier Index: North America

The United States hosts 85 Tier 5 commercial convergence sites across 3,500 evaluated primary anchors; Canada produces 12 Tier 5 sites from 400 evaluated anchors. The North American index evaluates the structural convergence of major retail operators across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Using the co-location-methodology and operationalised by the deterministic ranking system, the index identifies the highest-value commercial nodes based on the verified proximity of Primary Target anchors to secondary and tertiary supporting anchors. Map-facing tier labels follow the ICSC hierarchy described in tier nomenclature.

Market scarcity and quality validation

Achieving a ★★★★★ Tier 5 designation requires the verified convergence of four independent, capital-intensive site selection processes (Primary + Two Secondaries + Two Tertiaries) within the requisite catchment radii. Due to these stringent criteria, Tier 5 sites represent a small fraction of the total North American retail landscape.

These sites are the apex of commercial validation: the trade area's strength independently confirmed by multiple capital-intensive operators across all required anchor categories.

Regional distribution

The following table summarizes the distribution of high-tier nodes across North American markets as of the latest processing cycle. For exhaustive, rank-ordered lists of evaluated sites, refer to the country-specific indices.

Country Primary Anchors Evaluated Tier 5 (★★★★★) Sites Tier 4 (★★★★) Sites Detailed Index
Canada 400+ 12 15 atlas-co-location-index-canada
United States 3,500+ 85 220 atlas-co-location-index-us
Mexico 300+ 5 24 atlas-co-location-index-mexico

Site counts are dynamic and reflect the current state of the Geographic Information System (GIS) data processing platform as of 2 May 2026. The dataset includes 2,488 ranked sites across North America.

Operational application

The North American index serves as the primary defensive screen for large-format capital deployment. By prioritizing nodes with high tier rankings, investors benefit from the pre-validated capital commitments of the world's most sophisticated retail operators.

Expansion of the Mexican and Canadian datasets to include tertiary healthcare data from local municipal sources is a planned target for future iterations. [ni-51-102] [osc-sn-51-721]
