not infinitely larger lol

community size absolutely does not matter, it's the activity. a local active community of 2 active persons for every 260 residents is sufficient

That would be huge. For a city with 2M inhabitants, that would mean 8k active contributors. Remember that there are ~40-50k active OSM contributors in the whole world.

I'd say it's closer to 5 active contributors for a population of 100000.

In Paris we have ~100 contributors with >100 edits for a population of 2M and 60.8k businesses. Most notes are fixed under a day, infrastructure changes are quick as well, but businesses are often out of date because they change so often that some people don’t take the time to update them.

To be honest business owners should figure out that they need to update it themselves.
