How business-friendly is Logan right now?

**Pattern match:** Logan's neighborhood signature — captured across demographic, employment, and amenity features — most closely matches **Union Park (Orlando)** and **Sylvan Heights West (Dallas)**. The three share younger population, less transit-reliant, and lower-income, which helps explain why business types that succeed in those areas tend to translate to Logan.

**The pattern in Logan.** Of 89 tracked subtypes, Salad Shop leads at **85% average survivability** — yet within the neighborhood, sites for this subtype range **68-96%** (28-point spread). That spread is the real failure surface: pick the wrong block in Logan and a top-subtype play still scores in the bottom quartile. Meanwhile Hair Salons are already saturated here — 3 competitors within a 0.5-mile radius.

Among all neighborhoods in and around Charlotte, Logan ranks #8 for business survivability, with an average score of ~77%.

The survivability gap between the best and average addresses in Logan reaches ~3% for the strongest-performing business categories.
However, these same business types at the worst locations in Logan can sometimes provide a projected Survivability Score considerably below the average. Thus, even the businesses that are most in need in Logan could have trouble succeeding if the best location is not selected.
The 90.5% employment rate in Logan supports consumer spending, while a 12.2% vacancy rate reflects available storefronts — both of which shape the survivability landscape for any new business here.

Insurance + compliance	General liability quoted at a starter rate, then jumping 2-3x once you add property + workers' comp + business interruption.	Get binding quotes from 2 insurers before signing the lease. Most landlords require minimum coverage levels — read those terms first.

**LEHD demand-pattern signal (Logan):** Median 1-mile workplace jobs across Logan: **2,349** (LEHD LODES 2022). That works out to a **0.1:1 daytime-to-resident ratio** — a primarily-residential neighborhood with minimal daytime worker traffic. Of those workplace jobs, **189** are retail-sector. Use this to gauge whether your concept is weekday-commuter-driven or evening-and-weekend-driven.

**Economic indicators for Logan:** Three local signals — neighborhood unemployment **9.5%** (ACS; above the median we track), Charlotte-area average weekly wage **$1,183** (BLS QCEW; below our metro median), and **7,496** new residential units permitted in Mecklenburg County in 2025 (Census BPS). Use these to ground demand and labor-cost assumptions for your specific business plan.

**National benchmark:** Per BLS Business Employment Dynamics (March 2025), 5-year survival rates for StreetSpring's tracked industries span **47.8-61.8%**. Restaurants — the most-studied of these — survive at **50.0%** nationally, not the often-cited "80% fail" myth.
