Area to check	What can go wrong	How to de-risk it
Workforce availability	Hiring radius is smaller than you think — many neighborhoods can't staff a full team at standard wages.	Pull BLS wage data for your industry in this metro. Walk through your staffing plan with a local restaurant/retail operator before signing.
Permitted hours	Late-night or early-morning ops blocked by zoning, neighborhood association, or shared-wall restrictions.	Confirm the permitted hours-of-operation are in your lease AND in the local code. Pull recent variances or complaints from the zoning portal.
Competitor density	Counting only direct competitors and missing adjacent-category overlap (e.g. coffee shop near a bakery).	Map all businesses serving overlapping customer needs within a 5-min walk. Use StreetSpring's competitor view as a starting point.

**Local economic context (Fossil Park, Dallas):** Fossil Park's ACS unemployment rate is **2.6%** (below the 24-metro neighborhood median). County-level data adds two more anchors: BLS QCEW reports Dallas-area average weekly wage of **$1,401** (in line with our 24-metro median), and the Census Bureau Building Permits Survey logged **12,358** new residential units in Dallas County in 2025 — a rough proxy for the local growth environment a new business is opening into.

**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.
