Brands

High-priority violations per routine inspection relative to the county baseline, FY2023-24 to FY2025-26. Below zero: fewer than the county average where the brand's stores operate. Brands are compared only within their segment.

75 of 108 reviewed brands meet the minimum sample (30 stores and 50 routine inspections). The bar shows the 95% interval on a common scale; the vertical line is the county baseline. Brand matching is reviewed by hand (precision 99.0% on a labelled sample of 400 names). Data as of 2026-11-09.
