All 4, alphabetically
Listed alphabetically. The order is not a ranking: commerce fields are structurally excluded from the candidate set and from the ordering, and there is no field money could move. How this order is produced
Every entry names the area it is in. The area is where trust lives: a vouch in one area counts for that area, and nothing on this page mixes how up to date one area is into another's.

Machine layer
Nothing is exposed to a machine that is not visible to a person on this page. There is no hidden keyword layer and no structured claim the visible text does not also make.
A city-wide category page only exists once we hold at least 3 independence-checked places in it across Leeds. Below that we publish nothing and the count is shown on the city page instead, because a two-item list is a thin page, and a thin page is junk.
That count is taken across Leeds, not inside any one area. The rule is evaluated against the scope being rendered, never against the parent: a city never inherits a page from an area, and an area never inherits one from its city. Where an area holds three of its own, both pages exist — they are different pages with different scopes, not one page with a filter.
