| Figure | Value | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Locations in Ohio | 37 | Records the US location index holds for IHOP inside Ohio right now — a snapshot at the Q3 2026 release, not a change over time. |
| Rank among IHOP's states | 17th of 47 | By location count, among the states where this brand clears the publication floor. |
| States with a published IHOP page | 47 | States where the brand has at least 3 locations. Smaller states exist in the index and are not published. |
| Locations across those states | 1,919 | The sum of the state table below. Lower than the national count, which includes states under the floor. |
| Ohio's share of that footprint | 1.9% | A share of the published states only. Both halves are the same measure, so this is not a growth rate. |
| Verified openings in Ohio | 1 | A DIFFERENT measure from the count above: openings detected inside the tracked window, not stores standing today. |
| Cities with verified openings in Ohio | 1 | Distinct cities after folding spelling variants. See the city table. |
Cities with verified openings recorded for IHOP in Ohio. The count beside each city is its openings — not its total IHOP locations.
| City | Verified openings | Share of Ohio openings | Spellings folded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeffersonville | 1 | 100.0% | 1 |

Context for the local figures above. None of it is a Ohio number.
| Figure | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| US locations | 1,928 | At the latest vintage, Q3 2026. |
| US locations at the window start | 1,860 | The first tracked vintage, Q4 2024. |
| Net new over the window | +68 | The difference between the two counts above. A count movement, not a count of openings. |
| Growth over the window | +3.7% | Percentage change in the count between the first and latest vintages, nationwide. |
| Growth as a multiple | 1.0x | The same movement stated as a multiple of the starting count. |
| Growth against its category | +5.7% | The brand's percentage change minus its category's, so a rising tide is subtracted out. |
| Mean quarterly change | -25 | Average count movement per vintage step. The default ranking key on the hub. |
| Verified openings in the window | 57 | Individually dated location records new to the index inside the window, nationwide. |
| Openings pace, latest step | +2.4 | Verified openings per 91 days over the most recent vintage step. |
| Openings pace, prior step | +5.9 | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Direction | slowing | Accelerating, steady or slowing, decided on the two paces at the precision they are printed. |
| Latest pace as a share of the base | +0.1% | The latest pace over the store count at that step's start vintage. |
| Prior pace as a share of the base | +0.3% | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Reported openings pace, latest | +2.4 | The server's own pre-aggregated pace. Shown because the page ranks on the series-derived figure above and the two must agree. |
| Reported openings pace, prior | +5.9 | The same, one step earlier. |
| Largest single step's share of the change | 150% | One release carrying most of the movement is the signature of a data-coverage artifact rather than of openings. |
| Steps that moved the same direction | 43% | A real buildout moves one way most quarters. This and the row above are the credibility filter. |
| Passes the credibility filter | no | Largest step at or under half the movement, most steps in one direction, and net new above zero. |
| Cleared to print a percentage | yes | Whether the index's coverage of this brand is mature enough for a rate to mean anything. |
| Openings corroborated by coverage | 84% | Share of the openings that agree with the count series over the same step. |
| Records matching the brand's own website | 100% | Share of index records whose website resolves to this domain. |
| Records sharing an address with another operator | 22% | High values mean host locations, sibling banners or shared kitchens rather than the chain's own leases. |
| Entity class | chain | Anything other than a chain is not published as a brand page in this state tier. |
| Category | Dining and Drinking > Restaurant > American Restaurant | The index's own category path for this brand. |
| Segment | Restaurants & Fast Casual | The published grouping the category rolls up to. |
| Match name in the index | ihop | The string the location index matches records against. Rarely the display name. |
| Display name | IHOP | As published. Some domains carry a read-time repair where the index's most frequent name is a department's. |
| Domain | ihop.com | The key every table on this tier is joined on. |
| Tracked window | 8 vintages, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026 | How many quarterly releases this brand has been measured across. |
| Vintage stamps | 2024-11-19|2024-12-03|2025-03-06|2025-06-10|2025-09-09|2025-12-16|2026-03-18|2026-07-09 | Every release these figures were built from, oldest first, pipe-separated. It is a LIST of dates rather than one date, which is why nothing on this page prints it as a timestamp. |
The national count series behind the figures above. Both readings of it — the raw count and the indexed one — are columns here.
| Quarter | Vintage date | US locations | Indexed | Change vs prior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4 2024 | 2024-11-19 | 1,860 | 100 | — |

| Q3 2026 | 2026-07-09 | 1,928 | 104 | +3 |
Each row is the difference between two consecutive releases, so there is one fewer step than there are quarters above.
