City Concentration
The top 26 neighborhoods span 9 different cities, with Denver claiming 8 of the top spots (31%).
Breakdown of top 26 neighborhoods by city:
- Denver: 8 neighborhoods (31% of top 26): View city guide
- Houston: 7 neighborhoods (27% of top 26): View city guide
- Chicago: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
- Orlando: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
- Washington DC: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
- Charlotte: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Massage Therapy Clinics 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 9 cities represented in the top 26 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Massage Therapy Clinics 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 Massage Therapy Clinic?
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 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 Massage Therapy Clinics.

Use city-specific guides and StreetSpring's address-level tool to explore options beyond the top 26.
Is the competitive environment for Massage Therapy Clinics stronger in some markets than others?
Yes, competition density for Massage Therapy Clinics 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.
How does the national ranking for Massage Therapy Clinics compare to city-level rankings?
The national neighborhood ranking for Massage Therapy Clinics identifies the strongest neighborhoods across the 24 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 26, the city-level guide shows the full ranking of all neighborhoods in that market: including those outside the national top 26 that may still offer strong site-specific opportunities.
How can I compare specific addresses within these top neighborhoods?
StreetSpring's address-level tool allows you to input any commercial address and see predicted survivability for Massage Therapy Clinics. Even within the top-ranked neighborhoods, survivability varies meaningfully by block: address-level scoring is the most precise way to evaluate a specific site.
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 Massage Therapy Clinic succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 26?
Yes, the top 26 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Massage Therapy Clinics 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.
Are the best neighborhoods for Massage Therapy Clinics in large cities or smaller markets?
The top neighborhoods for Massage Therapy Clinics in StreetSpring's 2026 dataset are concentrated in 9 cities in the current dataset. As coverage expands, this breakdown may shift.

Methodology: Neighborhoods are ranked on the typical address: the average Survivability Score for Massage Therapy Clinics 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 1947 neighborhoods across 24 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.
