In order to determine level of a central place, you must rank all goods and services according to their thresholds and ranges. Threshold – minimum level of demand needed that will allow a firm to stay in business (minimum level of sales, minimum population. Threshold – minimum level of demand needed that will allow a firm to stay in business (minimum level of sales, minimum population. Range – average maximum distance people are willing to travel to purchase a good. Range – average maximum distance people are willing to travel to purchase a good. Threshold and range vary for each good and service. Central places of a given level provide not only goods and services that are specific to its level, but also all other goods and services that lower order centers provide.

Threshold influences the number and relative location of producers. High-order goods are available only at a few locations. They are expensive and purchased infrequently. They have a high threshold and wide ranges. Low order goods provided by a large number of locations. They are relatively cheap and purchased frequently. For any market, the most effective system of marketing region will be a hexagonal lattice.
