I took previous numbers of 2008, then later 2020 from @sinclair. Here is the original article: tuscl.net
With the new site layout, it’s super easy to glance at current numbers. So I will update. Yes the formatting is ugly, but I literally used cut+paste onto a crude note taking app. The first number from a state represents from 2008, the second 2020, and the third as of July 2026.

United States October 2008: 2,536 strip clubs United States October 2020: 1,914 strip clubs United States July 2026: 1,617 strip clubs
This means in the past 6 years, there has been about 15% less clubs after Covid.

Unless I missed one, it looks like only California, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Oregon actually had an increase in the number of strip clubs from 2020 to 2026...
