100 percent corner



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", or "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 a radius (e.g. one mile) from the central intersection.
