Descriptive Counts and statistics from the public record. Glossary →
KPI snapshot for each major Florida metro.
Fort Lauderdale is carrying 5,527 active licenses and 32 anomaly flags on record. The dashboard combines FRII structural counts, IRL inspection risk, and CTI turnover pressure so the first read is market condition, not a pile of disconnected records.
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.
