How we measured this

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 162 that meet the floors. Sources: Little Milwaukee business records, from public licenses, filings and OpenStreetMap; Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) GTFS feed.

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.
