      "explanation": "0.34 sq km for 127,779 people gives density of 375,821/km², which is ~100x higher than any other district (max 5,105). Impossibly dense."

      "district": "Coral Heights",
      "explanation": "Tax revenue is 0 despite population of 68,307, GDP of 814M, and public spending of 174M. A district cannot fund 174M spending with zero tax revenue."

      "source": "census",
      "district": "Sandbar Commons",
      "explanation": "28,366 households for 38,578 people gives 1.36 people per household. All other districts range 2.26-3.79. This implies most households have barely one person."

      "source": "financial",
      "district": "Tide Flats",
      "explanation": "GDP of 572M is 3.91x the aggregate business revenue (365 businesses × 401K = 146M). All other districts have GDP/aggRev ratio of 0.85-1.28. GDP cannot be nearly 4x total business output."

      "district": "Barnacle Row",
      "explanation": "Employment rate of 59.9% (2nd lowest) paired with highest median income of $107,001. Cross-referencing shows GDP per capita ($12,448) is inconsistent with such high personal income at such low employment."
