Co-location Index: United States
TopicFrom the Woodfine Projects
Ranked index of the top co-location nodes in the United States, evaluated by the named-anchor methodology across Walmart Supercentre anchor locations.
The United States Co-location Index ranks 3,500+ evaluated Walmart Supercentre anchor locations by the independent convergence of secondary commercial operators (Home Depot, Costco) and tertiary civic infrastructure within defined catchment radii, following the topic-co-location-methodology and operationalised by the deterministic ranking system. The United States is one of three markets covered in the 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.
[edit]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.
