Jinping in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Jinping plotted against Yunnan and China. The SNDi of new construction in Jinping peaked in 1991-2005, compared to Yunnan which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase and China which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Jinping's incremental SNDi fell from 6.31 to 4.31 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Jinping ranked 73rd out of 78 cities in Yunnan and 1759th out of 1843 in China as of 2020.

In new street additions, Jinping built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Chunarughat built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Saakow fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. Looking at the full network, Chunarughat and Saakow both became progressively more disconnected, while Jinping grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved. Jinping and Chunarughat have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
