What is California's per-capita permit rate?

Which California city has the most permit holders?

Are breweries included?

No. Breweries do not hold an FAA Basic Permit — they operate under a Brewer's Notice (IRC §6103, protected from disclosure), so they are not in the public TTB List of Permittees this directory is built from.

Where does this data come from?
