Want to learn more about the liveliest places in Moncton?
We took a data-driven look at the question and used Yelp to derive which local businesses were on guest tongues this month.
To find out who made the list, we looked at Moncton businesses by category on Yelp and counted the number of reviews they received. Instead of just comparing them based on the number of reviews, we calculated a percentage increase in reviews over the past month and tracked companies that have continuously increased their review volume to identify statistically significant outliers compared to past performance.
Read on to see which areas are particularly hot right now.
