Polk Restaurant Intelligence

Per-county FRI pressure detail pages.

Polk has 1,804 active licenses, 5.5% closure pressure, and 1.37 closures per 10K residents. This county deep-dive isolates local survival pressure with rate and per-capita context, so a small county losing several places is not read the same way as a large metro losing the same raw count.

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.
