H3 Hierarchy and Compaction: Multi-Resolution Spatial Analysis

Master H3's parent-child cell relationships and compaction algorithm for efficient spatial data representation

Every H3 hexagon at any resolution is the parent of exactly seven children at the next finer resolution. This seven-to-one relationship makes H3 uniquely powerful for multi-scale analysis — and its compaction algorithm exploits it to compress spatial datasets dramatically.
