DBPR inactive/delinquent status, concept replacement, and legal-operator change describe different events. This page shows them as separate pressure signals and does not treat any one of them as proof of financial failure.

Same-address transition signal = this cuisine's active addresses that appear in the concept-transition timeline or the DBPR Approve-Change-Owner feed within ~5y, over its active address count. It is a mixed lead-generation measure, not a pure ownership-transfer rate.

Counts here are DBPR licenses in delinquent/inactive status (Primary Status Code 45 or 46) -- a public-record regulatory state, not a confirmed business closure. This delinquent population is much larger than the metro Closures dimension's confirmed-closed count, which additionally requires Google/news/field corroboration. A delinquent license is not by itself proof the business has shut.

This mixed signal includes concept replacements and DBPR owner-change filings. It is a lead-generation measure, not a pure ownership-transfer rate and not proof of financial failure.
