Objection Geography Study

Generated 2026-09-22

== Method ==
The objection flag is the 'anyone object at meeting' field. The City records this field for each Committee of Adjustment file. We map the files within 500 m where the field is populated, each at its own lot. Files with an objection appear as large orange markers. Files with an objection and a refusal appear in red. Files with no objection appear as small blue markers. Approval rates use normalized decisions. An approval with conditions counts as an approval. We report the rates for the radius and for the city.

The field covers only part of the record. The study states the coverage and the selection effect plainly. This keeps the statistic usable in front of a panel.
