How long Vietnamese restaurants last

median years open, closed cohorts

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 Vietnamese 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.
