LEARNINGS
No records found — this object is absent from the canonical schema.
What is my role?
You are a public visitor — no role assignment is available to this experience (role records are protected). No role is assumed and no permission is implied.
An authorised role lens would answer questions differently per granted scope — behind the existing scope resolver and role system, not instead of them.
Legacy public town narrative
Separate source: legacy public.towns record (id 79384996…), archetype “Provincial Intelligence Hub”, context updated 2026-07-28. Joined to the canonical record by slug — not merged into it.
Population figure from StatsSA Census 2022 (811,431). The IDP 2023/24 uses IHS Markit modelled data showing 896,000 for 2021 — the StatsSA Census 2022 figure is authoritative. Ward count of 51 is confirmed by IDP documents and ExaAnswer citing the 2020 demarcation. Facebook group URLs are plausible but not individually verified as currently active — treat as low-confidence directory entries. Church entries for ZCC and NG Kerk are inferred from community profile and IDP social data; specific congregation URLs not retrieved. Bloemfontein Medi-Clinic referenced in Loch Logan waterfront retail data but specific URL not retrieved. Free State youth unemployment 52.1% cited from QLFS Q1 2024 as reported in Daily Maverick article April 2025.
Provenance: the notes above carry their own source language (e.g. StatsSA Census, municipal fact sheets) from the legacy research process. Population figures in this panel may differ from the canonical record’s estimate — both sources are shown, neither is silently chosen.
CANONICAL TOWNS: 81 records DERIVED
BLUEPRINT TOWNS: 50 · RATIFIED 2026-10-21 REAL
is_founding flag: 50 rows REAL
The ratified Blueprint roster (50 towns, blueprint-roster.json v1.1.0-ratified) is the operating cohort. The canonical database and the is_founding flag remain different, non-authoritative truths — never conflated (G4 closed 2026-10-21).
