  1. Method 1 is a simple count, Method 2 is an average count per parcel, Method 3 is an average count per unit area, and Method 4 is proportion of area with a variable present
  2. aN for public nuisances is 1356 due to data availability
  3. bCrime is not constructed using Methods 2 or 4 as crime is measured at the block level
  4. cN for tenancy is 1358 due to data availability
