OK, so there was a maths error in my example. I was suggesting that the
population threshold for a village would be a function of the number of
classes of services available. So:
Number of classes present Population threshold
0 400
1 300
2 200
3 100
4 0
Underlying this is the assumption that there are enough dwellings to
make it to an OSM settlement (3).
You can add or remove classes and change the upper bound. It's all just
a rule-of-thumb. The important thing being that it's documented
somewhere and mapper can check it.
Outliers?
The Ilkurlka Roadhouse is on the Anne Beadell Highway. Next fuel .. east
771 km Coober Pedy or west 550 km Laverton.
Population? 1? ... ~200 at Tjuntjuntjara. the nearest aboriginal community?
So there are two classes of services available, the threshold is 200
people. If the population is 1 then it's not a village. According to the
wiki article there is also a small outstation there, so there may be
three dwellings, which would be a hamlet. Otherwise isolated dwellings.
