What patterns emerge from the top-performing neighborhoods nationwide?

City Concentration

The top 27 neighborhoods span 12 different cities, with Denver and Houston each claiming 5 of the top spots (19%).

Breakdown of top 27 neighborhoods by city:

This distribution has practical implications for Jewelry Stores operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 27 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-27 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 12 cities represented in the top 27 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Jewelry Stores 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 Jewelry Store?

National rankings are a powerful starting point, but your final site decision should be validated at the address level. StreetSpring's machine learning models identify the exact blocks and neighborhoods where specific business types consistently outperform, and the ones where they struggle. Survivability moves from one address to the next within any neighborhood: this ranking narrows your search, and StreetSpring's live tool scores the address.

For the most accurate assessment:

  • Consider neighborhoods in the top 27 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 Jewelry Stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the national ranking for Jewelry Stores compare to city-level rankings?

The national neighborhood ranking for Jewelry Stores identifies the strongest neighborhoods across the 22 metros in this ranking. City-level rankings provide a more granular view of the best neighborhoods within a specific city. In cases where a city has multiple neighborhoods in the national top 27, the city-level guide shows the full ranking of all neighborhoods in that market: including those outside the national top 27 that may still offer strong site-specific opportunities.


What type of neighborhood is best for opening a Jewelry Store?

The best neighborhoods for Jewelry Stores share three characteristics: manageable competitive density (few existing direct competitors within the primary trade area), strong consumer spending on this category, and demographic alignment with the typical Jewelry Store customer base. In StreetSpring's 2026 data, the top-ranked neighborhoods for Jewelry Stores combine these factors and score well above the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods, 69.8% at a typical address. Neighborhoods with dense existing competition or low category spending tend to score significantly lower, regardless of overall foot traffic or prestige.


How does StreetSpring calculate survivability for Jewelry Stores specifically?

StreetSpring's model calculates survivability for Jewelry Stores by analyzing the competitive density of existing Jewelry Stores within each distance band around the address, the projected consumer spending on Jewelry Stores in that location, the housing vacancy rate and business mix around the site, and hundreds of additional factors. The resulting survivability score reflects the estimated probability of a new Jewelry Store surviving two or more years at that specific address.


Where can I download the underlying data?

Every neighborhood figure on this page comes from the metro file for its city, each a free download under CC BY 4.0: Denver (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/denver-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Chicago (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/chicago-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Los Angeles (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/los-angeles-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Charlotte (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/charlotte-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Baltimore (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/baltimore-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Houston (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/houston-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Orlando (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/orlando-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Washington DC (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/washington-dc-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Tampa Bay (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/tampa-bay-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Boston (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/boston-survivability-scores-2026.csv), St. Louis (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/st-louis-survivability-scores-2026.csv), New York City (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/new-york-city-survivability-scores-2026.csv). The national file, https://streetspring.com/resources/data/national-survivability-scores-2026.csv, has one row per metro and business type.


What demographic factors drive survivability for Jewelry Stores?

For Jewelry Stores, StreetSpring's model incorporates neighborhood-level demographic data including population density, median household income, employment rates, and consumer spending on this specific category. These factors vary by business type: the demographic profile that drives survivability for Jewelry Store customers may differ significantly from what matters for other business categories.


How do I interpret a survivability score?

A survivability score represents the estimated probability that a business of a specific type will still be operating at a given location after 2 years. A score of 80% means StreetSpring's model predicts an 80% chance of the business surviving past the 2-year mark at that address. Scores are calculated at the address level and reflect competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and hundreds of additional factors.


Can a Jewelry Store succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 27?

Yes, the top 27 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Jewelry Stores 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-27 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.

Methodology: Neighborhoods are ranked on the typical address: the average Survivability Score for Jewelry Stores 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.
