Foot traffic seasonality	Looking at a peak-summer Tuesday and assuming year-round volume.	Walk the block at 3 different times across 2 different weeks. Ask neighboring tenants for their slow-season % drop.

Neighborhood-Specific Questions

Local-context questions, answered with neighborhood-specific numbers.

How does Perkerson's employment rate affect business survivability?

Perkerson's employment rate is approximately 88%, compared to an Atlanta metro median of 96%. Below-average employment can constrain discretionary spending — value-oriented and essential services tend to fare better.

What's the vacancy picture in Perkerson?

Approximately 11% of Perkerson housing units are vacant — above the Atlanta metro median (9%). Vacancy is close to the metro median — lease economics are typical for the area.

What survival rates does the federal government track for small businesses?

BLS Business Employment Dynamics data (March 2025 release) shows 5-year survival rates spanning 47.8% (Active Life) to 61.8% (Health & Medical) across the 11 sectors StreetSpring tracks. Restaurants — the most studied category — survive at 50% nationally, well above the often-cited "80% fail" myth.

What's the local customer base size in Perkerson?

ACS data estimates the Perkerson resident population at roughly 9.8K. The resident base is moderate; business-type fit depends more on capturing nearby commuter or destination traffic.

Build-out budget rules-of-thumb for this neighborhood

**Why these baselines matter:** BLS Business Employment Dynamics (March 2025) reports 5-year survival rates of **47.8-61.8%** across the industries StreetSpring covers. Restaurants survive at **50.0%** nationally — not 20%. The location decision is what separates the 30% above the baseline from the 30% below.

**Daytime population context (Perkerson):** Per US Census LEHD LODES, the median 1-mile workplace-jobs population within Perkerson is **2,705** — about **0.3× the resident population**, which qualifies as a primarily-residential neighborhood with minimal daytime worker traffic. Retail-sector jobs in that radius: **482**. This shapes which business models have a natural demand floor here.

Landmark anchor: Perkerson's historical anchor is Lakewood Christian Manor — the kind of named landmark that shapes the neighborhood's foot-traffic identity beyond pure demographics.

**Economic indicators for Perkerson:** Three local signals — neighborhood unemployment **12.1%** (ACS; above the median we track), Atlanta-area average weekly wage **$1,103** (BLS QCEW; below our metro median), and **9,318** new residential units permitted in Fulton County in 2025 (Census BPS). Use these to ground demand and labor-cost assumptions for your specific business plan.
