How this tier list is built
Districts are ordered by legal regime first: regulated zones sit above unregulated, with semi-legal and openly illegal districts ranking lower. Within the same legal band, venue density breaks the tie. Within the same density, safety rating breaks the next tie. The list is intentionally blunt; the goal is to surface the district most travelers should anchor in, not to capture every nuance a long-term resident would know.
