Why these scores?

Each score is a weighted average of national percentile ranks (0 = lowest of all ZCTAs with that figure, 100 = highest). Weights are set in the model registry, not in code, and every score carries its model version.

Consumer Market Score45.74640%+24.4
Restaurant Opportunity Score41.84235%+19.5

Restaurant Opportunity Score: 42 (Medium confidence)

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
Restaurants per 10,000 residents (lower = more room)24.82725%+10.4

Whitespace, competition and demand signals are not yet available; this version uses growth, density, size and income only.

A high score is a statistical position among all U.S. ZCTAs, not a prediction that a restaurant will succeed.
