Summary

StreetSpring's 2026 analysis finds that the best business to open in Yorkshire is an Italian Restaurant with a ~84% chance of surviving at least 2 years across the neighborhood on average, with the best locations offering a ~85% chance; next is an Indonesian Restaurant with a ~84% chance, followed by a Kosher Restaurant with a ~83% chance.

Is Yorkshire a good place to start a business?

**Pattern match:** Yorkshire's neighborhood signature — captured across demographic, employment, and amenity features — most closely matches **Montgomery (Houston)** and **Park Place (San Antonio)**. The three share less transit-reliant, few nearby parks, and blue-collar job mix, which helps explain why business types that succeed in those areas tend to translate to Yorkshire.

**The pattern in Yorkshire.** Of 89 tracked subtypes, Italian Restaurant leads at **84% average survivability** — yet within the neighborhood, sites for this subtype range **71-92%** (21-point spread). That spread is the real failure surface: pick the wrong block in Yorkshire and a top-subtype play still scores in the bottom quartile. Meanwhile Ukrainian Restaurants are already saturated here — 5 competitors within a 0.5-mile radius.

StreetSpring ranks Yorkshire #21 among all analyzed neighborhoods in and around Charlotte, with a neighborhood-wide average survivability of ~75%.

Strong business types at their best-match addresses in Yorkshire consistently score ~2% higher than the overall neighborhood survivability average.
Yet the same categories that score highest in Yorkshire can underperform significantly at the wrong address. Location precision within the neighborhood matters as much as choosing the neighborhood itself.
With a 95.4% employment rate, Yorkshire has the consumer spending foundation that supports a range of brick-and-mortar business types.

Permits, licensing, and zoning specifics worth flagging

Consideration	Common pitfall	What to verify before signing
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.
CAM + hidden costs	Stated rent looks great, then CAM fees, signage charges, and after-hours utilities add 15-30%.	Get the full operating expense breakdown for the past 2 years. Ask which costs are landlord-capped vs. uncapped.
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.

**Daytime population context (Yorkshire):** Per US Census LEHD LODES, the median 1-mile workplace-jobs population within Yorkshire is **3,158** — about **0.1× the resident population**, which qualifies as a primarily-residential neighborhood with minimal daytime worker traffic. Retail-sector jobs in that radius: **883**. This shapes which business models have a natural demand floor here.

Landmark anchor: South Point Business Park anchors Yorkshire's green-space backbone and shapes the neighborhood's foot-traffic patterns.

**Economic context that bounds the demand environment in Yorkshire:** Per ACS, neighborhood unemployment is **4.6%** (below the 24-metro neighborhood median). BLS QCEW shows the Charlotte metro's average weekly wage at **$1,183** (below our 24-metro median). And Mecklenburg County permitted **7,496** new residential units in 2025 per Census BPS — a population-and-demand growth signal.

**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. The real risk premium is at the location level, which is what StreetSpring's model isolates.
