Vietnamese restaurants in Chicago
28 trading today — 0% of every restaurant open in the city. 74 have held a licence here since 2002, and 2 opened in the last 24 months.
How long Vietnamese 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 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.
