Mobile Food / Food Trucks

MFDV dynamics, density, inspections, cuisine mix, and closure caveats.

License Type Code 2014 is treated as mobile food in this pass, with 9,409 active records. Florida's mobile food economy operates by different rules: fewer inspections, lighter Sunbiz exposure, faster churn, and a known data-quality gap when trucks go dormant instead of formally closing.
