Commercial buildings can provide strong supplies, but routes need careful timing and exits.
The police station is a useful weapons-related target when the surrounding streets are manageable.
Residential areas help recover food, tools and basic supplies between higher-risk town runs.

Scout one route at a time and retreat before fatigue turns a good run into a bad fight.
