The purpose of this project is to determine the location of restaurants in Seaside and distinguish which ones have passed inspection from the city for the year 2010-2011. The city inspected whether or not they were dumping large amounts of grease in the local sewage system. Due to the fact that large amounts of grease can cause a backup in the pipes, this dumping problem can cause the city a lot of money to flush the system. For this project we will show which restaurants did and did not pass inspection to see if the no pass restaurants occur in mostly median income areas. We will also be determining if population density in the area also affects the restaurants ability to pass inspection or not.
