Purpose of the Comparative Structure
This page presents a constrained comparison between Makindye Division and Central Division as they appear within listing-based residential data for Kampala. The comparison is limited strictly to differences in visibility and labeling mechanics observed within platform-mediated listings. It does not describe residential conditions, housing composition, or structural outcomes within either division.
The intent is to clarify how intra-city comparisons based on listings must remain non-inferential and bounded by data visibility constraints.
Administrative Labeling in Listings
Both Makindye Division and Central Division appear in listings through administrative labels selected by publishers or applied through platform taxonomies. These labels serve as high-level location identifiers and do not convey internal spatial precision or residential differentiation.
Differences in how these labels are used reflect publisher familiarity, platform defaults, and address conventions rather than underlying residential characteristics.
Visibility Mechanics and Mediation Effects
Observed contrasts between Makindye Division and Central Division arise from how properties are disclosed, categorized, and exposed on platforms. Platform design choices and listing templates influence whether divisions are explicitly named or subsumed under broader descriptors.
As a result, comparative visibility should be understood as an artifact of mediation rather than as a representation of residential presence or structure.
Boundaries of Intra-City Interpretation
This comparison illustrates why listing-derived data cannot support substantive intra-city conclusions. The dataset does not normalize for unlisted housing, informal residential segments, or uneven disclosure practices across divisions.
Accordingly, this page should be read as an explanation of comparison boundaries rather than as an assessment of Makindye Division or Central Division.
