Opportunity views
Four ranked lists of the 11 core ZIPs. Each ranking is one published rule applied to numbers shown elsewhere in this app: no weighting, no model, no AI. The reason line on each row is built from the same numbers.
Under-served car repair
Rule: Vehicles with model year at least 10 years before the snapshot year, divided by repair shops (DMV licence RS or RSB, not expired) with an address in the ZIP. ZIPs with no shop rank first. ZIPs with fewer than 1000 vehicles are left out.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13207 | 961 per shop | 2,882 vehicles 10+ years old and 3 licensed repair shops (city: 171 per shop) |

| 9 | 13204 | 76 per shop | 4,023 vehicles 10+ years old and 53 licensed repair shops (city: 171 per shop) |
Limits: People drive to repair shops in other ZIPs, and many repairs happen at dealers or unlicensed. Vehicles are counted at the owner's mailing ZIP.
EV adoption ahead
Rule: Registered vehicles with fuel type ELECTRIC divided by all registered vehicles in the ZIP, compared with the same share for all core ZIPs. ZIPs with fewer than 1000 vehicles are left out.
| # | ZIP | Electric share vs city | Why |

| 3 | 13202 | 1.6% EV | 103 EVs of 6,343 vehicles = 1.62%, 1.55× the city share of 1.05% |
| 4 | 13203 | 1.1% EV | 77 EVs of 7,015 vehicles = 1.10%, 1.05× the city share of 1.05% |

Limits: Hybrids cannot be identified in DMV data. Fleet registrations (e.g. downtown) can move a ZIP's share.
