To be counted, a neighborhood has to meet the floor on both measures. For median age, the Census margin of error on its main block group, the one with the most land in the neighborhood, can be at most a quarter of that median. Neighborhoods under that are in the table with their numbers and the reason, and aren't in the correlation.

## How it was measured

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 48 that meet the floors. Sources: Wisconsin LTSB 2024 Election Data with 2025 Wards (Milwaukee County); U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates, tables B01001, B19001, B25003, C16002 and B08301 by block group.

## 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.
