    "We chose to blend three properties to match our perception of how this plays out in reality:

    Distance: the proximity to a place.

    Population: the size of a place is a pretty good indicator of its importance.

    Wikipedia article length: an extra layer of nuance for the cultural importance/awareness of places that may not have a large population."
