Tagum in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Tagum plotted against Davao del Norte and Philippines. All three follow the same trend in new construction, suggesting a shared regional pattern of development. Most recently, Tagum's incremental SNDi rose from 4.76 to 5.19 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Tagum ranked 3rd out of 3 cities in Davao del Norte and 46th out of 114 in Philippines as of 2020.

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