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 Score: 40 (Medium confidence)

Percentile-rank composite. No spending model yet: income and size stand in for spending capacity.

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