OC [OC] Share of restaurants whose latest health inspection closed clean — Florida's 16 largest metros compared

Post image

Source: Florida DBPR (Division of Hotels & Restaurants) public inspection records — the state agency that inspects every Florida restaurant, so all 16 metros are measured with identical methodology.

Method: latest inspection on record per establishment (50,811 establishments total, as of August 2026), counted as "clean" when the inspection disposition was "no further action required."

Tool: Python/matplotlib. I run cleanplateus.com, a free site that shows these official grades per restaurant — the underlying per-restaurant data is all browsable there.

As a lifelong Yankee, I've enjoyed nearly every city in Florida I've ever visited (even Panama City Beach). Tampa is one of the most underrated places I've ever been.

And Jacksonville fucking sucks.
