Across 1,947 ranked neighborhoods in 24 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows the top 26 neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants averaging 82.6% survivability at a typical address, against 67.7% for the average across the 1,947 ranked neighborhoods.

This 14.9-point gap is the distance between those two averages, both at a typical address. It compares projections for neighborhoods; the projection for any one storefront is made at its own address.

For a Seafood Restaurant, the top-ranked neighborhoods average 82.6% at a typical address, against 67.7% for the average across the 1,947 ranked neighborhoods. Read that projection alongside the Revenue Capture Score, the most important factor in choosing a location: StreetSpring's estimate of the revenue a business can capture at that address. StreetSpring's model counts the direct and indirect competitors for Seafood Restaurants in each distance band around the specific address.

Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 26 neighborhoods represent 8 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Seafood Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

City Concentration

The top 26 neighborhoods span 8 different cities, with Seattle claiming 7 of the top spots (27%).

Breakdown of top 26 neighborhoods by city:

Seattle: 7 neighborhoods (27% of top 26): View city guide
Washington DC: 6 neighborhoods (23% of top 26): View city guide
Denver: 5 neighborhoods (19% of top 26): View city guide
Atlanta: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Chicago: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Charlotte: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Boston: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide
Orlando: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Seafood Restaurants 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 8 cities represented in the top 26 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Seafood Restaurants 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 Seafood Restaurant?

National rankings are a powerful starting point, but your final site decision should be validated at the address level. Entrepreneurs and commercial real estate agents in major US metros can read StreetSpring's survivability projections before a site-selection decision. 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 Seafood Restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there good opportunities outside the top 26 neighborhoods?

Absolutely. This ranking covers 1,947 ranked neighborhoods across 24 cities. Many neighborhoods outside the top 26 have excellent individual locations for Seafood 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 26.

How does StreetSpring calculate survivability for Seafood Restaurants specifically?

StreetSpring's model calculates survivability for Seafood Restaurants by analyzing the competitive density of existing Seafood Restaurants within each distance band around the address, the projected consumer spending on Seafood Restaurants 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 Seafood Restaurant surviving two or more years at that specific address.

Which cities appear most frequently in the top 26 neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants?

The cities most represented in the top 26 for Seafood Restaurants are Seattle (7), Washington DC (6), Denver (5). City-specific guides provide deeper analysis of each city's neighborhoods.

Is the competitive environment for Seafood Restaurants stronger in some markets than others?

Yes, competition density for Seafood Restaurants 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.

Where can I download the underlying data?

Can a Seafood Restaurant succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 26?

Yes, the top 26 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Seafood 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-26 list.

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.

Which neighborhoods tie for #1 for Seafood Restaurants?

Blandtown in Atlanta and Woodland in Seattle tie for #1 for Seafood Restaurants, each with 83.6% survivability at a typical address (the average in each metro file, which is what this ranking orders on). StreetSpring's model weighs competitive dynamics (direct competitors relative to available consumer spending), demographic alignment with Seafood Restaurant customers and local spending patterns for every ranked neighborhood nationwide.

Technical note: Aggregated national survivability rankings across the metros in this ranking 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.

Methodology: Neighborhoods are ranked on the typical address: the average Survivability Score for Seafood Restaurants 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.
