Slides

  1. A single local graph of Toronto activity. — 169,269 indexed records across events, places, people, services, and City of Toronto business licence history.
  2. Business licences are the backbone dataset. — 158,709 historical City licence records, 37,340 active records, and 121,369 cancelled records.
  3. Business activity is uneven across the city. — Ward charts show where licence density concentrates and how active/cancelled balances differ by local geography.
  4. Food and drink is the largest story. — The drilldown atlas can isolate food and drink by ward, raw licence class, and active status.
  5. The archive spans from 1946 to current updates. — The latest local City record update in this pack is 2026-05-27.
  6. Issuance patterns are visible by category. — Month-by-category heatmaps reveal waves of licensing and operational shifts.
  7. Streets reveal Toronto's commercial spine. — Yonge, Bloor, Dundas, Danforth, Queen, and King dominate the corridor analysis.
  8. Conditions and endorsements expose operational rules. — Licence conditions show seating, zoning, subcontracting, and use constraints across categories.
  9. Postal and source coverage show where the data is strongest. — FSA and source charts help explain confidence, coverage, and where additional enrichment should go next.
  10. The chart engine is reusable. — Every chart is generated from CSV/JSON into browser-ready output. Curated charts export to SVG, Vega-Lite, ECharts, Plotly, and Observable Plot.
