Read the Numbers with Care
These are raw counts from official records. Departments inspect on different schedules and use different rules, and larger areas have more restaurants, so a high closure count can reflect strict enforcement as much as unsafe conditions. Closures can be short, and many restaurants reopen after re-inspection. Use the area pages for context, and check the original source for current status.
