Measures

These measures are described for reference only: no value of any of them is served.

The key is the measure's identifier in Cadastre. A measure stored for the metro itself is read as stored; Rule from counties is how a metro is assembled from its counties where it is not (see Methodology).

Known gaps and caveats
