lowest order
The ref link defines "high order" and "low order" as classifications of populated areas based on the type of goods and services available in them. I did find one other reference that had this broken down further into 最高次、高次、低次、and 最低次、but unfortunately I can't find it now. Based on this, it is probably "lowest order" or "very low order".

"saitei-ji" has no Google hits. In Japan's rural regions, post offices serving as a node of national communications network have been located in key villages. Your query is survey-related?

The web shows the current status of post offices serving in the Maharashtra state, central India. This indicates area served per post office, as well as population served per post office, vs. all India.
The web might interest the asker.
