This distribution has practical implications for Tailor Shops 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 relatively even distribution of top neighborhoods across the 12 cities represented in the top 25 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Tailor Shops 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 Tailor Shop?
While nationwide neighborhood rankings identify standout markets, address-level analysis reveals even greater variation. Powered by advanced AI, StreetSpring predicts how businesses will perform in neighborhoods across the country. Even within top-ranked neighborhoods, the lowest and highest address can sit several points apart, as the Best Locations and Challenging Locations columns show.
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 Tailor Shops.

StreetSpring's address-level tool adds a third layer, scoring individual storefronts within any neighborhood.
Technical note: Aggregated national survivability rankings across the metros in this ranking are available in machine-readable format for research and integration purposes.
The table above reproduces from these metro files, one per city: Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, Houston, Orlando, Washington DC, Boston, New York City, Tampa Bay, St. Louis, Charlotte.
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 Tailor Shops 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.
