Kaplan-Meier-style survival curves for restaurant license cohorts.
License-age cohorts show survival as a market structure problem, not only a restaurant-by-restaurant story. A license cohort is all restaurants that first appeared in our inspection records in the same year. This chart shows what fraction of each cohort is still operating today — higher survival at 3+ years means a stronger market class. Cohorts from 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023 are compared on a common survival curve, showing which vintage of restaurants sustains highest closure risk.
