Exact method and eligibility

Population: Philadelphia ZIPs with at least 1 first-recorded food-and-drink license location in the rolling 12 months through the displayed L&I source date. Metric: food-and-drink license events are deduplicated by parcel, business identity, and license type, then ranked by initial issue date across all recorded years at each parcel; the earliest recorded event is ranked, and later events are turnover. Uses before the published L&I record began cannot be seen, and a license is a registration, not proof a business opened or operates.
