Statewide Cuisine Rankings

Closure, rebrand-count, and rebrand-rate rankings by cuisine.

Sandwiches leads the statewide closure-rate board among cuisines with publishable samples. CTI reads cuisine as a turnover market: closure rates, not raw counts, drive comparisons; rebrand count and rebrand rate stay separate because a concept can fail quietly, churn loudly, or do both at once. 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.
