A city carries no overall standing here. The quality score is built for institutions and countries, the units its floors and field normalisation were designed around. An empty rank on this page is a statement about the measure, not about the place.
Which research institutions are in Mainz?
By fractional works over the whole record; world rank on research quality in 2022-now. Bars are scaled to the largest institution in this city, not to anything off the page.
How concentrated the city is
The same institutions as shares of everything the list accounts for. A city that is one university and a city that is twelve read alike as a table and not at all alike here.
Shares of the rows listed above, not of the whole node.

Location quotient against the world baseline. Inside a single field a city is a meaningful unit, which is why this is where a city is measured at all.
The whole field profile
All 26 fields at once: above the ring is more than a place this size would be expected to do. A specialist and a generalist produce the same ranked list and a completely different shape.
Rings at 0.5×, 1× and 2×. Widest outward: Arts and Humanities, 2.6×. Every wedge is a field page.
