This is a just-for-fun Halloween map, so please don't take it too seriously. Every neighbourhood has its own tricks and treats that aren't captured by this data. 👻

Each hex averages data in the area within 500m of it, about a 10-minute walk. The hexes cover residential zones only (R, RD, RS, RT, RM, RA, RAC in current or 2014 zoning). Colour = percentile of the weighted score.
