2City packs

What each metro page is built from.

The provenance string stored on the pack. US metros quote Census vintages, LEHD, HPMS, hydrography and agency GTFS. International metros quote OSM land use, a sourced population series and agency GTFS, and they say when jobs or commute flows are derived. Generated by site/tools/build-cities.mjs.

Stockholm

OBSERVED — Water, major roads and land-use polygons: OpenStreetMap (ODbL), Overpass extract of the playable core. Transit lines and stations: the operating agency's published GTFS feed. DERIVED — metro population before 2020 is not in this pack; era back-cast uses the national factor in eras.ts until a sourced series is stamped. DERIVED — zone population and jobs from OSM land-use area shares of the 2020 total; home-to-work odSeed is a gravity model (not a census commuting matrix); households from population ÷ 2.35; income unknown (medianIncomeUsd 0). This is not a US Census / LODES pack.
