URBAN HEIRACHY CONCEPTSThreshold population is the minimum number of customers needed in order for a
business/service to be profitable.
Larger stores selling comparison goods need a larger threshold population than smaller stores.
These larger stores are found in bigger settlements e.g. cities and smaller stores in smaller
settlements e.g. villages.
