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.
What separates the top neighborhoods for Polynesian Restaurants from the national average is not simply higher foot traffic — it is a favorable ratio of consumer spending on this category to competitive supply. The 48.0% advantage that top neighborhoods hold is built on structural conditions: the right consumer demographics, manageable competition density, and mobility patterns that route target customers past the storefront. StreetSpring's AI has analyzed hundreds of thousands of business openings, closures, and survival outcomes to calibrate its predictions.
Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 25 neighborhoods represent 9 different cities.

This distribution has practical implications for Polynesian 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 12 top-ranked neighborhoods in Washington DC (48% of the top 25) is notably high for this business category, suggesting that Washington DC's market conditions — competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and demographic alignment — are unusually favorable for Polynesian Restaurants. Operators targeting this category should treat Washington DC neighborhoods as a primary focus before expanding to secondary markets.
How can I use this neighborhood ranking to find the best location for a Polynesian Restaurant?
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. Block-level conditions within any neighborhood can shift survivability by 10–20 points — this ranking narrows your search, and StreetSpring's live tool finalizes it.
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
Each neighborhood has detailed analysis available through its city guide, providing block-by-block survivability data for Polynesian Restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should a landlord use this ranking when evaluating tenants for Polynesian Restaurants?
Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Polynesian Restaurants — and by extension, how likely a Polynesian Restaurant tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 25 neighborhoods, Polynesian 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.
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 Polynesian Restaurants. 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 does StreetSpring calculate survivability for Polynesian Restaurants specifically?
StreetSpring's model calculates survivability for Polynesian Restaurants by analyzing the competitive density of existing Polynesian Restaurants within each distance band around the address, the projected consumer spending on Polynesian 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 Polynesian Restaurant surviving 2+ years at that specific address.
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 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 Polynesian Restaurant succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 25?
Yes — the top 25 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Polynesian Restaurants 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-25 list.
