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.

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