Ratcliffe Cleaning Contractors and Online Marketing Surgery have analysed the 23 settlements with the highest population in West Sussex, to identify the areas with 0-star food and hygiene ratings.
Online Marketing Surgery used the UK Food Standards Agency's open data, where they filtered the results to include hygiene ratings of all, 0, and 5.
The total number of search results for each hygiene rating category was recorded.
To standardise the data for comparison, the results were converted into percentages.
