Hanford in context: Street-network sprawl trends
Hanford in context
The chart above shows SNDi trends for new street additions (left panel) and the entire network (right panel), with Hanford plotted against California and United States. The SNDi of new construction in Hanford rose steadily, compared to California which peaked in 1976-1990 and United States which peaked in 1991-2005. Most recently, Hanford's incremental SNDi rose from 3.86 to 4.03 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Hanford ranked 16th out of 60 cities in California and 160th out of 333 in United States as of 2020.

What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Hanford and Fenxi both built increasingly disconnected streets over time, while Rasulpur fluctuated in its street-construction patterns. For the full network, Hanford and Fenxi both became progressively more disconnected, while Rasulpur fluctuated in connectivity. Notably, Hanford had a more sprawly network than Fenxi in 1975 but the two have since reversed their relative ranking.
