How does Bronx differ from the rest of the city?
Bronx shares the city's number one, the Honda CR-V, but the sharpest difference further down the list is the Acura MDX: number 13 in the Bronx at 1.45% of the borough, against number 21 citywide at 0.99% of the city.
That is one comparison, and it is the one the ranking supports: both numbers in it are in the table above. This page does not say why the difference exists. The registration file records what is registered and where the registrant receives mail, and it carries no information about who bought what or why.
