Answer:
What is a settlement hierarchy?
We can categorise settlements according to their size and shape. The result is a settlement hierarchy. A settlement hierarchy is found by putting settlements in a region or country into a rank order either by population or type and range of services.

A settlement hierachy
The size of a sphere of influence will depend on factors such as:
the number and types of services it provides
the accessibility of the settlement including transport facilities
the amount of competition from surrounding areas
Services and goods have a threshold population to support them. Examples of threshold populations include:
a village shop needs 350 customers
a doctor needs 3500 patients
a secondary school or Boots chemist needs 10,000 people
a Marks and Spencer store requires 50,000
a large, national supermarket chain such as Tesco or Asda needs 60,000
