The SNDi of new construction in Muncar was at its lowest in 1976-1990, compared to Jawa Timur which rose steadily and Indonesia which rose steadily. Most recently, Muncar's incremental SNDi rose from 4.35 to 5.03 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020.

In new street additions, Muncar built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Jalalabad built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Bohori fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Muncar and Jalalabad both became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Bohori became progressively more disconnected. Muncar and Jalalabad have been converging in their street-network character since 1975.
