Is Weymouth the right neighborhood for a new business?

**Pattern match:** Weymouth's neighborhood signature — captured across demographic, employment, and amenity features — most closely matches **North Central (Los Angeles)** and **North Kensington (Washington DC)**. The three share older population, less walkable commutes, and more homeowners, which helps explain why business types that succeed in those areas tend to translate to Weymouth.

**The pattern in Weymouth.** Of 93 tracked subtypes, French Restaurant leads at **82% average survivability** — yet within the neighborhood, sites for this subtype range **65-96%** (31-point spread). That spread is the real failure surface: pick the wrong block in Weymouth and a top-subtype play still scores in the bottom quartile. Meanwhile Italian Restaurants are already saturated here — 11 competitors within a 0.5-mile radius.

Weymouth is the #71 most survivable neighborhood for new businesses in and around Boston, with an average score of ~75% across all analyzed categories.

The highest-scoring business types in Weymouth — at their optimal addresses — outperform the neighborhood average by ~2%.
Even so, the weakest addresses in Weymouth for those same business types can underperform considerably. StreetSpring's address-level scoring exists precisely to identify which specific storefronts make the difference.
A 95.2% employment rate in Weymouth means a large share of local consumers have steady income — a strong underlying condition for discretionary spending businesses.

How seasonality plays out here

Consideration	Common pitfall	What to verify before signing
Permits & licensing	Assuming a 30-day permit timeline, hitting 90+ days, paying rent on a non-operating storefront.	Call the local zoning office before signing. Confirm your use is already permitted; if not, factor a 2-3 month variance timeline.
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.
Parking & visibility	Storefront looks great from the sidewalk but is invisible from the road.	Drive past at 30 mph from both directions. Count street parking + nearest paid lot capacity at peak hours.
