How we measured this

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 136 that meet the floors. Sources: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates, tables B01001, B19001, B25003, C16002 and B08301 by block group; Little Milwaukee business records, from public licenses, filings and OpenStreetMap.

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.
