US county business-bankruptcy filings, quarterly

Quarterly US county business-bankruptcy intelligence panel built from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts Table F-5A (business and nonbusiness cases commenced, by county and chapter; keyless .xlsx, verified live 2026-10-01). Each vintage covers the trailing 12 months ending on the quarter date (AOUSC convention); the panel carries business filings (all chapters plus Chapter 7/11/13/other splits) per county FIPS, summed across the table's circuit sections to correct venue-transfer undercounting (the same county can appear under several circuits). Carries calendar year-over-year changes in business filings and the Chapter-11 reorganization share. Method caveats: '-' cells are true zeros per AOUSC convention; counties are debtor counties as recorded in filings (venue rules let cases be filed away from the debtor's county, which the cross-circuit summing addresses but cannot fully undo); the 'OUTSIDE U.S.' aggregate is excluded; a county genuinely absent from a vintage is an absent row, never a zero-filled one. Who joins this: B2B sales teams join business_yoy on quarter_end + county_fips/state_code as a regional distress feature; credit-exposed shops and subscription businesses condition expansion forecasts on county business-bankruptcy momentum.
