Public Services
Locations of police stations, hospitals, fire stations, post offices and other public services.
⚠ This comes from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers — it is not an official register. A province with fewer entries may simply be less mapped, not less served. These counts measure mapping effort as much as provision.
Darker means more mapped, not necessarily better served.

5,874 further places carry no name upstream, so they can be counted but not searched or listed.
Harvested through the Overpass API, selecting only public-service amenity types rather than all OSM categories. Ways and relations are represented by a centre point. Province assignment uses point-in-polygon against ADM1 boundaries, not nearest centroid — provinces are large enough that nearest-centroid misassigns border areas.
