What this report cannot tell you
Revenue is inferred from payroll using a 30% labour-cost assumption (drinking places); it is not measured revenue.
Figures describe the average existing operator in Kent County (2023 data, 84 establishments) — not a specific unit.
Nobody has walked this street. Visibility, the state of the unit, parking, which side of
the road gets the morning sun — all of it decides outcomes and none of it is in this data.
Census business data runs about two years behind. It answers whether this market is
structurally healthy, not what opened last month.
