Your first due by the numbers.
About 8,395 people live in these buildings, estimated from the building records.
How to read these numbers. Estimated means we worked it out from public records, and your officers check it at setup. The month is when its list was last updated. A check flag means the list is more than 2 years old, so look at it first.
Numbers built October 2026. Your officers fix anything that is off in setup, and every card follows.
