Benjamin, Simeon and Judah (adjacent tribes) 87 listings or 56% of total.
Benjamin, Ban and Judah 34 localizations or 68% of total localizations!
Suggests the original tribal listing was Jewish and completed in Jerusalem area. This also follows that the overall regions for Jerusalem and nearby Eleutheropolis are most frequently referred to and also have most frequently localized sites.

A.
With neither compass direction nor mileage.
7
entries with only 1 localized NOW existing.
B.
With mileage but no compass direction.
