For the full network, Adoor became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Ouled-Teima fluctuated in connectivity and Bafia became progressively more disconnected. Adoor and Bafia have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
