 COMPARISON WITH NEIGHBOUR PRECINCT
P10 P9 P11

CNR = 0.59 CNR = 0.74 CNR = 0.85

LNR = 1.18 LNR = 1.61 LNR = 1.64
Avg. block perimeter = 685 Avg. block perimeter = 575 Avg. block perimeter = 517

CNR ∝ LNR ∝ 1/(Avg. Block Perimeter)

By this analysis, we say that generally, if CNR and LNR value increases then
avg. block perimeter decreases and Connectivity of networks will improve.
