Transport, utility and right-of-way land (637 acres) outweighs industrial land here, a pattern you see where rail yards, expressways or the river take up much of the map.

West Lawn has 33,662 residents and 7,487 jobs, so loading docks here tend to sit close to homes. Street access and loading hours can matter as much as count when a truck is booked.
