The Delaware Open Data portal has a historic dataset about business licenses (link).

Check if we can use the data to estimate the number of businesses in the WRK region over time.

The dataset turns to only have data until 2018.

Here's a sample query to get the number of businesses per year. It only has data until 2018.

    {
        "month": "2007-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "78560"
    },
    {
        "month": "2008-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "78795"
    },
    {
        "month": "2009-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "76799"
    },
    {
        "month": "2010-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "84077"
    },
    {
        "month": "2011-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "81129"
    },
    {
        "month": "2012-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "81660"
    },
    {
        "month": "2013-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "82772"
    },
    {
        "month": "2014-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "82605"
    },
    {
        "month": "2015-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "88267"
    },
    {
        "month": "2016-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "87536"
    },
    {
        "month": "2017-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "102149"
    },
    {
        "month": "2018-01-01T00:00:00.000",
        "total": "85281"
    }

I think we need data 2018 and onwards for our purpose. (hopefully it will be updated sometime…) I'm closing this issue for now.
