It doesn't matter if on-page examples outnumber wicks to the page. You need to check wicks to gauge how it's used across the site.
Declined.

According to the trope description, Moebius Neighborhood is for houses with only one neighbor, even if there are other adjacent houses. However, its actual usage is all over the place; common usages include cases where a house has multiple neighbors, but all but one of them is inconsistent (which can overlap with New Neighbors As The Plot Demands); cases where one neighbor is more important than the rest; and cases where a family doesn't know their neighbors. Some examples also attract Natter.
Since there are more on-page examples (44 from 34 distinct works) than wicks (31), I'll look at the latter. In this OPE check, "variant" means that it invokes an apparent Alien Geometry other than what's in the description.
So out of 44 examples, that's 15 correct, 9 variant, 7 subversions and aversions, that 4 mix the preceding three, 1 justified, 5 misuse, and 3 ZCEs. The large number of variant examples tips me off that the definition is too narrow.
I'm back!
