How it compares in Harris County
0.89 high-risk violations per inspection, against a county median of 0.60. Lower is better.
Better than 31 out of 100 daycares in Harris County, and 28 out of 100 across the Houston metro. Rate, not raw count, because a center inspected 9 times will always have more findings on paper than one inspected twice.
