Free Dallas business-location research for entrepreneurs
Covering the Dallas and Fort Worth metro. No account, no paywall, nothing to buy. Built for anyone deciding where to open, and for the people who advise them.
What the Survivability Score measures
The projected chance that a specific business type lasts two or more years at a specific address.
The decision this is meant to help with
Most people choose a location on rent, on a walk-through, and on a feeling about foot traffic. Those are the things you can see standing on the sidewalk. What you cannot see is whether that block has actually supported your kind of business over time, or whether the businesses that lasted there were a different kind entirely.
Dallas is held out of this kit while its census inputs are repaired and the metro is rescored; no figure for it is shown until then. This kit will carry the neighborhood figures again when the hold clears.
What is free here
This is decision support, not a guarantee. A projected two-year survival figure is a probability drawn from how comparable businesses have performed at comparable locations. It does not account for the operator, the concept, the capital behind it, or the lease terms, and no location score can promise a business will succeed or predict that one will fail. Treat it as one input among several.
For chambers, EDOs, libraries, and business-support organizations

I am Bobby, the founder. I built StreetSpring after watching good operators sign leases on blocks that had never supported their kind of business. If you want the PDF, want to book a session, or think something on this page is wrong, write to me directly.
