Does it measure importance sensibly or is it a category only weakly related to

But that's my point. We can just look it up, if we start from the
assumption that the Local Government Act distinction between a town and
a village (technically, between a town and a parish, but that's just
terminology) is definitive. So observation doesn't need to come into it.
