Voronoi diagrams partition a plane into cells around a set of seed points, assigning every location to the nearest seed. In geography, these cells model service areas, catchβment zones, or influence regions of facilities such as hospitals or schools.
When the seed points are distributed uniformly over a bounded region, the average area of a Voronoi cell can be approximated by dividing the total area of the region by the number of seeds. This relationship provides a quick estimate without constructing the full diagram.
If the region is approximated by a circle of radius R, the total area is ΟRΒ². By combining this with the number of seed points N, we obtain a simple formula for the expected cell size, useful for planning and resource allocation.
