more important centres

"Núcleo urbano" (city centre) is a similar use of "núcleo" in this sense.
"Peso" (not weight in terms of kilograms) here refers to the importance of the centres.
Example sentence:

the rural municipalities with stronger growth are located in the more important centres: in the towns or county centres

se localizan en los núcleos de mayor peso - are based around the key economic centres

I put "based around" because the "municipio" is an area whereas the "villas o centros comarcales" are towns etc.
