How to read La Baume-d'Hostun density?

The SIRENE count covers every declared activity — shops, but also property companies, holdings and sole traders — so it runs high by nature. To gauge saturation, look at the per-business breakdown below and the creation / closure dynamics (BODACC).

Why not indicate "saturated / not saturated"?

No universal ratio allows a verdict. Saturation depends on business, district, purchasing power (Filosofi income), and recent dynamics. NTYB gives the numbers, you keep the reading.

When does the per-inhabitant ratio not make sense?

For destination retail (car dealer, specialty store) which captures a catchment area larger than the town. Then catchment (vertical /chalandise/) is relevant.
