How the city data was joined

The data has no license number and no shared ID with the other lists. License lines group by business name, normalized for punctuation and suffixes such as LLC or Inc., and listed city. A group joins a business already on the Kansas City, Missouri list or in the Johnson County file only when its name, or the trading name after “dba”, points to exactly one such business and the listed cities agree (or one gives none). 168 groups joined that way; 120 became Independence-only registry records; 2 matched more than one business or were claimed twice and stay separate. A business spelled differently on two lines shows twice. 94 licenses list no business name and 58 list what may be a personal name; they are counted, not named.
