Seafood restaurants in Chicago
69 trading today — 1% of every restaurant open in the city. 215 have held a licence here since 2002, and 7 opened in the last 24 months.
How long Seafood restaurants last
Measured only on restaurants that opened long enough ago to have reached 4 years, so recent openings cannot flatter it. A rate is published only where at least 40 have.
Where Seafood clusters
By community area, most open today first. Counts only — a four-year survival rate needs 40 matured restaurants and only ≈16% of these cells have that many, so the rate lives below, where it can be quoted honestly.
