Defining strength

Hello,

Location, location, location. That’s what outgoing Huxley City Administrator John Haldeman touts as a defining strength of the city of Huxley, a town that has grown exponentially in his two stints as city administrator.

How can I interpret “defining strength”? Does it mean a strength that defines what the city is like?
