**Daytime population context (Beverly View):** Per US Census LEHD LODES, the median 1-mile workplace-jobs population within Beverly View is **2,198** — about **0.0× the resident population**, which qualifies as a primarily-residential neighborhood with minimal daytime worker traffic. Retail-sector jobs in that radius: **398**. This shapes which business models have a natural demand floor here.

Landmark anchor: Way-Holiness Full Gospel Church of God is the most-prominent named landmark in Beverly View — a Sunday and weekend-traffic anchor for the surrounding blocks.

**Local economic context (Beverly View, Chicago):** Beverly View's ACS unemployment rate is **12.8%** (above the 24-metro neighborhood median). County-level data adds two more anchors: BLS QCEW reports Chicago-area average weekly wage of **$1,198** (below our 24-metro median), and the Census Bureau Building Permits Survey logged **5,308** new residential units in Cook County in 2025 — a rough proxy for the local growth environment a new business is opening into.

**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.
