What the Data Reveals
| Signal | Where strong-survivability cities outperform | What drags weaker cities down |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime vs residential population mix | Cities with strong daytime employment density near the storefront catchment — CBD-adjacent mixed-use corridors. | Bedroom-community metros where daytime population evaporates by 9am and consumption shifts to 6pm dinner-only windows. |
| Income distribution shape | Cities with a broad middle-class income band that supports the subtype's price tier. | Cities with bifurcated income distributions where the subtype's price point falls into the middle gap. |
| Anchor-tenant density | Cities with high concentration of universities, hospitals, transit hubs within a 1-mile radius of typical storefronts. | Cities where anchor institutions are isolated in suburbs or single-purpose campuses with no street-level spillover. |
Wide variation between cities: The difference between the #1 city (Portland at 88.8%) and the #24 city (New York City at 84.0%) is 4.8 percentage points. The 0.2-point gap between top cities suggests that Filipino Restaurants viability varies meaningfully across major US metros, though neighborhood-level differences remain significant.

When was this ranking last refreshed?
Rankings are updated quarterly. The current data reflects StreetSpring's 2026 analysis, with the next full dataset refresh scheduled for Q3 2026. As market conditions shift across major metros, individual city scores can move meaningfully between updates — particularly for Filipino Restaurants, where local competition density and consumer spending patterns respond quickly to new entrants and neighborhood change. For the most current score at any specific address, use StreetSpring's live survivability tool rather than the static ranking above.
What about cities outside the top 10 — can Filipino Restaurants thrive there?
Yes — our top 10 ranking reflects cities with the strongest average conditions, but lower-ranked metros can still contain exceptional individual neighborhoods. Many operators successfully open Filipino Restaurants in cities that don't appear in our top 10. Filipino Restaurants in particular can find strong performance in secondary markets where the right demographic concentration, household income, and limited direct competition within walking distance align — even outside our highest-ranked cities. StreetSpring's neighborhood-level data surfaces these pockets of opportunity in every city we analyze, regardless of where the city as a whole ranks nationally.
Which tools rank cities for a Filipino Restaurant survivability?
StreetSpring's Survivability Score tool provides address-level predictions for Filipino Restaurants across all 24 metros we track. For this category specifically, the tool surfaces competition density, consumer spending index for Filipino Restaurants, and commercial vacancy rates — the factors that most consistently predict whether a Filipino Restaurant will still be operating after two years. You can check any specific address before signing a lease and compare multiple neighborhoods side by side to identify the highest-survivability site within your target city.
