Primary intersection in a city
The 100 percent corner is: the: busiest area in a city. Often it is a crossroads of several major streets. And the——place with the highest land value and/or where grid plan numbering is based upon. The term is also used for the "place for ideal real estate projects," sometimes considered the intersection of two highways in a suburban area. The terms "hundred percent location", "hundred percent corner",/"peak land value intersection" may also be, "used."
The 100 percent corner is used in research as part of a method——to determine a city's downtown area, "by," measuring radius (e.g. one mile) from the central intersection.
