How do neighborhoods compare across the United States for Persian Restaurants?
Analyzing 1426 neighborhoods across 24 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows that the best neighborhoods for Persian Restaurants significantly outperform average locations, with the top 25 neighborhoods nationwide averaging 73.0% survivability compared to the national neighborhood average of 67.0%.
This 48.0% advantage illustrates how critical neighborhood selection is — choosing a top-tier neighborhood versus an average one can significantly increase your long-term survival chances.
Persian Restaurants tend to show significant geographic clustering — markets where one successful operator exists often attract additional demand, raising survivability for new entrants who choose complementary (rather than directly competing) locations. The concentration of top neighborhoods in New York City, San Francisco, Detroit reflects this pattern. StreetSpring's model accounts for the distinction between complementary clustering and direct saturation when scoring Persian Restaurants survivability at the address level.
Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 25 neighborhoods represent 4 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Persian Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.
The right location can make a business; the wrong one can break it.

What patterns emerge from the top-performing neighborhoods nationwide?
City Concentration
The top 25 neighborhoods span 4 different cities, with New York City claiming 17 of the top spots (68%).
Breakdown of top 25 neighborhoods by city:
- New York City: 17 neighborhoods (68% of top 25) — View city guide
- San Francisco: 4 neighborhoods (16% of top 25) — View city guide
- Detroit: 3 neighborhoods (12% of top 25) — View city guide
- Baltimore: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 25) — View city guide
This distribution has practical implications for Persian Restaurants operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 25 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-25 neighborhood require more precise site selection — the advantage is concentrated in one area rather than spread across the metro.
The concentration of 17 top-ranked neighborhoods in New York City (68% of the top 25) is notably high for this business category, suggesting that New York City's market conditions — competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and demographic alignment — are unusually favorable for Persian Restaurants. Operators targeting this category should treat New York City neighborhoods as a primary focus before expanding to secondary markets.
How can I use this neighborhood ranking to find the best location for a Persian Restaurant?
Use this ranking to shortlist neighborhoods, then drill down to specific addresses. Across the U.S., real estate professionals and business owners rely on StreetSpring's AI predictions to understand where a new venture is most likely to thrive, before signing a lease. 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 25 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

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download the underlying data?
The full national survivability dataset is available as a free download: https://streetspring.com/resources/data/national-survivability-scores-2026.csv. The CSV includes all business subtypes and neighborhoods covered in this analysis, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
How does StreetSpring calculate survivability for Persian Restaurants specifically?
StreetSpring's model calculates survivability for Persian Restaurants by analyzing the competitive density of existing Persian Restaurants within each distance band around the address, the projected consumer spending on Persian Restaurants in that location, the vacancy and tenant mix around the site, and hundreds of additional factors. The resulting survivability score reflects the estimated probability of a new Persian Restaurant surviving 2+ years at that specific address.
Are there good opportunities outside the top 25 neighborhoods?
Absolutely. Our analysis covers 1426 neighborhoods across 24 cities. Many neighborhoods outside the top 25 have excellent individual locations for Persian Restaurants. 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 25.
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.
How does the national ranking for Persian Restaurants compare to city-level rankings?
The national neighborhood ranking for Persian Restaurants identifies the strongest neighborhoods across all 24 analyzed metros. 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 25, the city-level guide shows the full ranking of all neighborhoods in that market — including those outside the national top 25 that may still offer strong site-specific opportunities.
What is the difference between city-level and neighborhood-level survivability rankings for Persian Restaurants?
City-level rankings reflect average survivability for Persian Restaurants 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 Persian Restaurants?
Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Persian Restaurants — and by extension, how likely a Persian Restaurant tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 25 neighborhoods, Persian Restaurants 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.
What type of neighborhood is best for opening a Persian Restaurant?
The best neighborhoods for Persian Restaurants 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 Persian Restaurant customer base. In StreetSpring's 2026 data, the top-ranked neighborhoods for Persian Restaurants combine these factors in a way that produces survivability scores well above the national average of 67.0%. Neighborhoods with dense existing competition or low category spending tend to score significantly lower, regardless of overall foot traffic or prestige.
Technical note: Aggregated national survivability rankings across all 24 metros are available in machine-readable format for research and integration purposes.
StreetSpring recalculates survivability using the latest competitive, demographic, and walkability data, so the live score may differ from the static ranges shown here.
