It's whatever location that is listed which could be a town. Here is one from 
1871 from my database:



Maria SMART 90% Ince, Lancashire, England (Child Event- Residence: 7 Apr 1861)

So it is saying there is a 90% chance that you will find that person in Ince, 
Lancashire and the program came up with that idea from one of Maria's children 
who had a residence event on 7 Apr 1861 in Ince. I think that is clear.

However, I think the 90% is misleading. I have never found Maria anywhere, her 
name is from an IGI record so is by no means certain. Her daughter was actually 
born in Devon so if I was going to guess where she is I would have been looking 
in Devion but would have attributed a far lower percentage given that her 
daughter was born around 1810.

When they give a percentage for a location, which location are they talking 
about? -- country, state, county/independent city -- I doubt township.
