How the score works
Accessible
Share of the city's public washrooms marked wheelchair accessible.
Posted hours
Share with opening hours on record, so you know before you go.
All-gender
Share marked all-gender or single-user.
Size
How many public washrooms there are, on a log scale from 15 up to the biggest city.
Each measure is compared with the best city on it, so the leader on a measure gets full points. Counts come from the washrooms on the Throne Map; a city that's missing hours or accessibility details may rank lower than it deserves. Spot a gap? Report it on the map.
