City Concentration

The top 26 neighborhoods span 11 different cities, with Denver and Washington DC each claiming 7 of the top spots (27%).

Breakdown of top 26 neighborhoods by city:

Denver: 7 neighborhoods (27% of top 26)
Washington DC: 7 neighborhoods (27% of top 26): View city guide
Atlanta: 3 neighborhoods (12% of top 26): View city guide
Miami: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Charlotte: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide
Orlando: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide
Baltimore: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide

Chicago: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide
St. Louis: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Cosmetics Shops operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 26 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-26 neighborhood require more precise site selection: the advantage is concentrated in one area rather than spread across the metro.

The relatively even distribution of top neighborhoods across the 11 cities represented in the top 26 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Cosmetics Shops operators, this means strong site opportunities exist in multiple markets: the key variable is neighborhood-level competitive conditions rather than city-level market size.

How can I use this neighborhood ranking to find the best location for a Cosmetics Shop?

Use this ranking to shortlist neighborhoods, then drill down to specific addresses. StreetSpring uses AI to project business survivability across U.S. neighborhoods, so you can check an address before a business opens there. The difference between the best and worst blocks within a single top-ranked neighborhood can be as large as the gap between the #1 and #25 neighborhoods on this list.

For the most accurate assessment:

Consider neighborhoods in the top 26 as strong starting points
Examine city-specific guides for additional neighborhood options in your target markets
Use StreetSpring's address-level tool to evaluate specific storefronts within these neighborhoods
Factor in your budget, operational requirements, and target demographics

Each neighborhood has detailed analysis available through its city guide, providing block-by-block survivability data for Cosmetics Shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between city-level and neighborhood-level survivability rankings for Cosmetics Shops?

City-level rankings reflect average survivability for Cosmetics Shops across all neighborhoods in a given city: useful for identifying which cities offer the best overall conditions. Neighborhood-level rankings go deeper, showing which specific neighborhoods within those cities rank highest. StreetSpring's address-level tool adds a third layer, scoring individual storefronts within any neighborhood.

How should a landlord use this ranking when evaluating tenants for Cosmetics Shops?

Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Cosmetics Shops, and by extension, how likely a Cosmetics Shop tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 26 neighborhoods, Cosmetics Shops represent a strong tenant category. If not, StreetSpring's address-level tool will show the survivability score for your specific address and which tenant types score highest there.

Can a Cosmetics Shop succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 26?

Yes, the top 26 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Cosmetics Shops can achieve strong survivability in many other neighborhoods as well. What matters is finding a location where competitive density is low enough and consumer spending is strong enough to support the business. StreetSpring's address-level tool identifies high-survivability addresses in any neighborhood, including those not represented in this top-26 list.

How often do neighborhood rankings change?

StreetSpring updates rankings quarterly as new data on business openings, closures, and market conditions becomes available. The current analysis reflects 2026 data. Because competitive conditions shift as new businesses enter or exit a neighborhood, the specific rankings for any given business type can shift between updates, which is why we recommend verifying specific addresses in StreetSpring's live tool before making a final site selection decision.

Is the competitive environment for Cosmetics Shops stronger in some markets than others?

Yes, competition density for Cosmetics Shops varies significantly by market. StreetSpring's model reads the number of direct competitors against the consumer spending available to them at each address. StreetSpring's address-level tool shows the exact competitive environment at any specific location.

What is the typical survivability range for Cosmetics Shops in top neighborhoods?

The top 26 neighborhoods nationwide for Cosmetics Shops average 82.5% survivability at a typical address. The average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods is 69.1%, also at a typical address. The gap between the two is 13.4 points. Each neighborhood's lowest and highest address are in the table above.

Are there good opportunities outside the top 26 neighborhoods?

Absolutely. This ranking covers 1,907 ranked neighborhoods across 22 cities. Many neighborhoods outside the top 26 have excellent individual locations for Cosmetics Shops. Neighborhood-level rankings reflect averages: specific addresses within any neighborhood can score well above or below the neighborhood mean. Use city-specific guides and StreetSpring's address-level tool to explore options beyond the top 26.

StreetSpring recalculates survivability using the latest competitive, demographic, and walkability data, so the live score may differ from the static ranges shown here.

Methodology: Neighborhoods are ranked on the typical address: the average Survivability Score for Cosmetics Shops across the scored locations within each neighborhood, as its metro file publishes it. The average across all ranked neighborhoods is the plain mean of those figures, not the national average on the city ranking, which averages metros. Rankings represent neighborhood-level conditions but do not account for block-by-block variation. Coverage includes 1907 neighborhoods across 22 major US cities. 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.
