When an area is at ~87% with nothing more to do

[Aria Athena]

is it because there is a hidden boss somewhere?

Not really. Some areas just have smaller number of activities.

You can do a few things:
- run around looking for randomly generated events - the white flags. They often give some progress towards the Bond
- send cats to this region if you happen to get a mission in it
- do other quests, some of them also give Bond with the area they are in
- don't do anything - max bond is not needed for anything, I think

It's a completion rate though. It somewhat coincides with the bond level, in the sense that 100% gives you level 3, but it infers you are missing something in the area. Bond level goes beyond level 3 anyway.

There is a completion bonus, which includes skill points and such.

Isn't the completion reward awarded for getting everything in the region and not for the bond lvl?
The bond level just marks locations for you and gives crafting materials.
But I may be wrong, I haven't paid much attention to it for a long time.

I assume so, but the completion rate is what I was originally asking about, not the bond level.

Then no, there isn't anything hidden counting towards the completion. I don't remember the button, but when you hover over the region, yoiu can show details and it will show you the list of what you found and what you are missing.
If everything on the list is checked and your completion is not 100% - then I dunno, never happened to me.

There are a couple of areas with activities and chests that you need story progress to access.

But they are marked on the map and on the list anyway. They only have an orange icon over them.
