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.

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
5-year restaurant growth-66.7150%+0.4
10-year restaurant growth03530%+10.5
20-year restaurant growth02820%+5.6
Restaurant-count growth only until population and income growth series exist.

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