To be ranked, a neighborhood needs at least 5 of the two together. Neighborhoods under that are in the table with their numbers and the reason.

60 City neighborhoods aren't in this table: we have neither bars nor congregations on record inside their boundary.

## How it was measured

We count the records in each category inside each neighborhood's boundary and subtract congregations from bars.

## What would change the answer

These are the records we hold in each category, and we don't have a category for every record, so a true count can be higher. Treat a small gap as a tie.
