That is 16 points below the citywide rate. This measures outcomes, not the quality of a place. Access to capital, insurance, lending and daytime foot traffic all move it, and none of them appear in a licence record. Read it as a description of what has happened here, not as a verdict on the neighbourhood or on anyone trading in it.

Storefronts in West Pullman that have hosted the most separate restaurants. A high count is not a verdict on the address either — but it is the first thing worth knowing before signing one, and it is the question a broker will not raise.

Watch West Pullman.

Everything above is the record as it stands today. Get an email when a new restaurant licence appears in West Pullman, and nothing at all in the weeks when none does. It covers openings only: a closure takes about three years to surface fully in the public record, and we will not send an alert we cannot stand behind.

A neighbourhood is not an address.

Everything above describes West Pullman as a whole. The record for one storefront is usually more decisive than the average around it, and the read scores a specific concept for a specific operator against that storefront's own record.
