Geography

Where failures cluster

Inspections carry coordinates but no neighbourhood, so we place each one inside its community area — the 77 units every other Chicago dataset joins on.

The 77 community areas

Areas with fewer than 40 verdicts in the window are left unshaded rather than coloured on noise.

A darker area is not a worse neighbourhood. Fail rates move with what kinds of food business an area has, how many are inspected on complaint rather than schedule, and how many re-inspections follow — all before anything about how the kitchens are run. The map is a place to start a question, not an answer.
