In human geography, a catchment area is the area from which a location, such as a city, service, or institution, attracts a population that uses its services and economic opportunities. Catchment areas may be defined based on from where people are naturally drawn to a location (for example, a labour catchment area) or as established by governments or organizations such as education authorities or healthcare providers, for the provision of services.
