# Create a location type

Adds a category that locations can be filed under. Point a location at it with
`headcount_location_type_id` on the create or update endpoint for that location.
**A type created without `sort_order` comes back without that field**, rather than
with its stored default of `0`. Read the type back if you need its complete state.
