There are many slightly different opinions on help.o.o.

My POV is that

The usual “tag the dominant use” rule applies.
Since living quarters tend to “sneak in” avery building but not the reverse, and because shops are arguably more interesting to map viewers, commercial/retail/office should probably get a bit of priority over residential.
It’s all a bit suggestive anyway, don’t worry too much.
