Best and Worst are the average results for the better and the worse of two addresses picked at random in the place: a weighted average of every scored location in which the best locations count the most for Best and the weakest count the most for Worst. Typical is the average address. Best is shown for a smaller space (half the standard size) and Worst for a larger one (half again as large), at the metro's median asking rent, using the same rent rule as our tool; Typical is at the market rent.
These averages are directional, not definitive; the best decision comes from analyzing your specific storefront. However, market conditions change daily, and it's best to use StreetSpring's live data to check the Survivability Score for a specific address.
The ranking runs on Best. Every figure is the projected chance of lasting two or more years, as printed in the linked file. See our full methodology →
These figures assume a lease at the local market rate. The live tool adjusts the figure when you enter a lease that is cheaper or more expensive than that.

Across the 57 ranked neighborhoods, the average projected chance that a new Dentist Office lasts two or more years is 83.9% Typical. A high-traffic corner that works well for a coffee shop may be entirely wrong for a specialty retailer.
What Should I Consider When Opening a Dentist Office in or Around Houston?
When selecting a location for a Dentist Office in or around Houston, it is crucial to select a location with a very high Survivability Score.

These results are powered by exclusive algorithms trained on one of the largest commercial real estate datasets in the U.S. StreetSpring scores 500+ business types: 153 base business types, most of them at 5 price points, which is 569 type-and-price combinations you can choose in the tool.
