This distribution has practical implications for Tanning Salons operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 28 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-28 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 28 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Tanning Salons 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 Tanning Salon?
National rankings are a powerful starting point, but your final site decision should be validated at the address level.

- Consider neighborhoods in the top 28 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
