Of course, looking at the numbers for the nation as a whole doesn’t really give insight into what is going on in any one place. Rounding out the top twenty is Whataburger at 0.6% of listings, which is surprising considering their locations are only in ten states.
Chart created with Onomics.įrom this list, we see that just two restaurants, Subway at 18.5% of listings and McDonald’s at 11.3% of listings, account for over a quarter of fast food restaurants in this dataset! At a distant third is Burger King at 5.7% of listings. For this analysis we take the number of restaurants in each fast food chain and divide by the total number of restaurants in the dataset, giving the percent of total listings for each chain.ĭata source: Datafiniti. To start, we will look at which fast food restaurants are most popular in the country. Orlando, FL and Las Vegas, NV have the most McDonald’s per capita at 20.9 and 13.9 restaurants per 100k residents respectively. McDonald’s (the second largest fast-food chain) is in every major city in America. Cities with the fewest fast-food restaurants per capita are mainly concentrated in California and the Northeast with New York at number one, and four California cities in the top ten. The states with the fewest fast-food restaurants per capita are mainly in the Northeast with Vermont, New Jersey, and New York taking the top three spots.Ĭities with the most fast-food restaurants per capita, on the other hand, were spread more evenly throughout the country with Orlando, Cincinnati, and Las Vegas in the top three spots. Eight of the top ten states for most fast food restaurants per capita are in the South with Alabama in the number one spot. When it comes to the highest concentrations of fast food restaurants per capita, Central and Southern states dominate. Then, by sorting the data geographically and adjusting for population size, we can see what areas of the country have the highest concentration of fast food restaurants. We analyzed data from Priceonomics customer Datafiniti, a data company that maintains a database of restaurants, to see where fast food restaurants were located (and where they weren’t). So what are the most popular fast food joints? More importantly, which states and cities have the most and least fast food restaurants per capita? However, people and their tastes vary from place-to-place, and some fast food restaurants are more popular than others. It’s not surprising then, that fast food restaurants are in every city in America. The popularity of the drive-through window is a good indicator that we like to eat on the go, or at least that we are too busy to stop for a meal. Does your company have interesting data?
