A fast food restaurant is looking for a new location to open. The chain has decided to only open where there is a ratio less than 0.01 fast food restaurants per person. The population in Castle Heights is 1900 people. The population in Silver Crest is 2000 people. Currently, Castle Heights has 18 fast food places and Silver Crest has 23. Which town meets the company's density policy?

Castle Heights has a density of 18 fast food restaurants per 1900 people, which is 0.00947 restaurants per person, and this is less than the 0.01 threshold.
On the other hand, Silver Crest has 23 restaurants for 2000 people, which is 0.0115, and this is above the 0.01 cutoff. Therefore, Castle Heights is the town that meets the chain's policy.
