Abstract
⺠A scaling relation between population and facility density in China is reported. ⺠Its scaling exponent depends on the type of facility, which increases with per capita GDP. ⺠The observed scaling law is actually a mixture of several multi-scaling relations. ⺠This phenomenon results from an unbalanced regional economic level. ⺠We suggest a modification of a previous model by introducing the consuming capacity; the modified model reproduces most of our observed properties.
