That is 23 points below the citywide rate. This measures outcomes, not the quality of a place. Access to capital, insurance, lending and daytime foot traffic all move it, and none of them appear in a licence record. Read it as a description of what has happened here, not as a verdict on the neighbourhood or on anyone trading in it.

A neighbourhood is not an address.

Everything above describes Austin as a whole. The record for one storefront is usually more decisive than the average around it, and the read scores a specific concept at a specific address for a specific operator.
