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: 6 (Medium confidence)

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
Consumer Market Score6.6740%+3.5
Restaurant Opportunity Score4.7535%+2.2
Health index, advertising, whitespace, competition and risk components join in later versions.

Population (ACS)22340%+1.1
Median household income (ACS)47,2221240%+4.7
Households (ACS)11420%+0.8
Percentile-rank composite. No spending model yet: income and size stand in for spending capacity.

Restaurant Opportunity Score: 5 (Medium confidence)

ComponentValueRankWeightAdds
Restaurants per 10,000 residents (lower = more room)454.6125%+0.3
Population (ACS)22320%+0.8
Median household income (ACS)47,2221220%+3.6
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.
