Hot-spot map for the Lagos housing brief. `lagos_landuse` carries land-use polygons with a population density attribute; `lagos_hex_grid` is a hex grid. I need the top 10 % of hex cells ranked by area-weighted mean population density across overlapping land-use polygons. Tiny polygons under 100 m² are noise and should be excluded. I need two output files that share exactly the same set of `hex_id` values, one row per cell. `hotspots.geoparquet` is a GeoParquet (Polygon or MultiPolygon geometry) in Nigeria's national grid with columns `hex_id`, `rank`, `area_weighted_density`, and `geometry`. `hotspot_ranking.parquet` is a plain Parquet with no geometry, carrying `hex_id`, `rank`, `area_weighted_density`, `n_overlap_polygons` (integer), and `n_slivers_filtered` (integer). In both files `rank` must be a unique integer starting at 1 where ascending rank corresponds to descending `area_weighted_density`.

CRS Check:
Hex CRS: EPSG:4326
Landuse CRS: EPSG:4326

thought most of the work can be done in a single script.
1. Load `lagos_hex_grid` and `lagos_landuse`.
2. Identify and count "sliver" polygons in `lagos_landuse` (area < 100 m²).
3. Remove slivers from landuse for the intersection calculation.
4. Perform spatial intersection between `lagos_hex_grid` and the filtered `landuse`.
5. Calculate area of the intersection polygons.
6. Calculate area-weighted mean population density for each hex cell: $\frac{\sum (\text{density}_i \times \text{area}_i)}{\sum \text{area}_i}$.
7. Track `n_overlap_polygons` and `n_slivers_filtered` per hex cell.
8. Filter for the top 10% of hex cells ranked by area-weighted density.
9. Re-rank them (1 to N).
10. Save to `hotspots.geoparquet` and `hotspot_ranking.parquet`.

Wait, "n_slivers_filtered" per cell. This means I need to count how many slivers would have overlapped with each hex cell before they were removed.

Let's refine the plan:
- Convert both to a projected CRS to calculate area in $m^2$. For Nigeria, EPSG:32631 or EPSG:32632 (UTM zones) or EPSG:26331 (Minna) is appropriate. I'll use a suitable UTM zone for Lagos. Lagos is roughly $6.5^\circ N$, $3.4^\circ E$. UTM Zone 31N (EPSG:32631) covers this.
- Step 1: Load data.
- Step 2: Calculate landuse areas in $m^2$. Identify slivers (< 100 $m^2$).
- Step 3: For each hex, count:
    - `n_slivers_filtered`: number of landuse polygons in that hex that were slivers.
    - `n_overlap_polygons`: number of landuse polygons in that hex that were NOT slivers and intersected.
- Step 4: Perform intersection with non-sliver polygons.
- Step 5: Calculate area-weighted density for non-slivers.
- Step 6: Join the counts back to the weighted density results.
- Step 7: Sort, take top 10%, rank.
- Step 8: Save.

Wait, if a hex has NO non-sliver polygons, its density is 0 (or NaN). If we only take the top 10% of *all* hexes or top 10% of hexes *with* density? The instruction says "top 10% of hex cells ranked by area-weighted mean population density". Usually, this means top 10% of the total count of hex cells.

Let's check the number of hexes. 1782. Top 10% would be 178 cells.

Wait, if a hex cell only contains slivers, it has no "area-weighted mean density" from non-sliver polygons. I'll treat its density as 0.

One detail: `n_overlap_polygons` is the number of land-use polygons (non-slivers) overlapping the hex.

Let's write the script.
