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.

BMIE Market Score: 24 (Medium confidence)

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
Consumer Market Score21.92240%+11.7
Restaurant Opportunity Score26.12635%+12.2
Health index, advertising, whitespace, competition and risk components join in later versions.

Households (ACS)2362420%+4.9
Percentile-rank composite. No spending model yet: income and size stand in for spending capacity.

Restaurant Opportunity Score: 26 (Medium confidence)

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
Restaurants per 10,000 residents (lower = more room)21.53425%+13.0
Population (ACS)4662020%+6.3
Median household income (ACS)55,3472220%+6.8
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.
