All Florida Counties Ranked

County-level closure pressure, same-address churn pressure, and cuisine saturation.

Liberty is the current county pressure leader at 27.3% DBPR inactive/delinquent-license rate. County ranking puts license-status pressure and CTI turnover in the same view: small county versus large metro comparisons should use DBPR inactive/delinquent-license rate or the Per 10K pop column, not raw counts alone. The “Delinquent (DBPR 45/46)” column counts licenses in delinquent/inactive status -- a public-record regulatory state, not confirmed closures; it is a much larger population than the metro Closures dimension's confirmed-closed count, which additionally requires Google/news/field corroboration.

License delinquency and ownership changes are separate signals. Neither alone proves that a restaurant has closed.

Raw counts mislead -- Putnam County losing 4 places is different from Miami losing 4. Use the rate or per-capita column for defensible comparisons. Methodology details linked above.
