# Does bars per resident by voter turnout show a pattern in Milwaukee?

These two aren't related across 90 City of Milwaukee neighborhoods: the correlation is 0.12, too small to call a pattern.

The quarter of neighborhoods that turned out less average 0.7, and the quarter that turned out more average 1.2. The Historic Third Ward is furthest from the pattern, at 16.5 with 78.3% on the other measure.

Metric: Bars per 1,000 residents. Period: Records on file today; November 2024. Source: [Little Milwaukee business records, from public licenses, filings and OpenStreetMap](https://littlemilwaukee.com/records).

## How it was measured

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 90 that meet the floors. Sources: Little Milwaukee business records, from public licenses, filings and OpenStreetMap; Wisconsin LTSB 2024 Election Data with 2025 Wards (Milwaukee County).

## What would change the answer

This shows a pattern across neighborhoods. It doesn't show that one thing causes the other, and it says nothing about any one person. A correlation near 0 means no straight-line pattern, and one or two unusual neighborhoods can move it.
