What the records show
42 of 42 dossier records in this state list at least one source. The tables count records by their recorded status and by how precisely each one is placed on the map.
By recorded status
| Status | Records |
|---|---|
| Operator-listed or operating | 39 |
| Other or unclear | 3 |
By map precision
| Precision | Records |
|---|---|
| Street address | 30 |
| City-level | 12 |
A city or metro pin marks a place, not a parcel. Status labels come from each record’s source and are not a check of current operation.
