Tallahassee FRI Dashboard

KPI snapshot for each major Florida metro.

Tallahassee is carrying 6,970 active licenses and 260 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. Same-address concept churn counts addresses with three or more distinct business names in the inspection record, within the scope shown, over the last 365 days. Basis revised 2026-08: earlier pages reported an all-time statewide total on every metro. Extended property vacancy counts addresses whose most recent gap between recorded restaurant tenants — including an address with no tenant since its last closure — is 1,095 days (3 years) or more. Gaps under 90 days are treated as ownership transfers, not vacancy, and are excluded. This is a property record, not an assessment of any current operator.
