No suburb table: this is a City of Milwaukee file.
How we measured this
We read the City's master property file for the commercial buildings that have a business on record, and count each address once. We only publish totals by neighborhood.
What would change the answer
This covers buildings with a business we have on record, not every building, so most homes aren't in it. A neighborhood needs 10 of these buildings to be ranked.
