How it works

Each bar's price is the median of the latest report from each person who priced it in the last 30 days, so one account counts once. The city number is the median across bars, so one busy bar can't skew it. Bars added by members only count once three other people have priced them. The cheapest and priciest lists only include bars priced by at least 2 different people; the last column is that count. Reports disputed by established members, hidden by moderators, or from suspended accounts are excluded. Neighborhoods need at least 3 priced bars. ✓ marks bars whose owners verified their listing.
