How do neighborhoods compare across the United States for Vietnamese Restaurants?

Across 1,907 ranked neighborhoods in 22 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows the top 25 neighborhoods for Vietnamese Restaurants averaging 82.3% survivability at a typical address, against 67.9% for the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods.

This 14.4-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 Vietnamese Restaurants specifically, StreetSpring's model reads competitive density within the immediate trade area alongside local consumer spending on the category. The 14.4-point gap between the top-ranked neighborhoods and the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods, both at a typical address, shows how far the projection for Vietnamese Restaurants moves from one neighborhood to the next. No third-party scoring system produces these results: every prediction is generated by StreetSpring's own analytical models.

Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 25 neighborhoods represent 8 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Vietnamese Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

The address you choose determines your competitive exposure, customer flow, and spending potential simultaneously.

The top 25 neighborhoods nationwide for Vietnamese Restaurants are:

Scores for Vietnamese Restaurants run from 48.0% to 84.0% on this scale. The best address in 453 of the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods reaches the 84.0% ceiling, so the Best Locations column often shows that ceiling rather than a difference between places.

Neighborhoods are ordered on the typical address, the file's average for each neighborhood. Best Locations and Challenging Locations are the file's highest and lowest address.

Top-ranked neighborhoods contain their own variation; a single block difference can shift survivability meaningfully, which is why address-level scoring matters.

City Concentration

The top 25 neighborhoods span 8 different cities, with Washington DC claiming 8 of the top spots (32%).

Breakdown of top 25 neighborhoods by city:

• Washington DC: 8 neighborhoods (32% of top 25): View city guide
• Denver: 7 neighborhoods (28% of top 25)
• Orlando: 3 neighborhoods (12% of top 25): View city guide
• Los Angeles: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 25): View city guide
• Seattle: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 25): View city guide
• Atlanta: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 25): View city guide
• Chicago: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 25): View city guide
• Charlotte: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 25): View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Vietnamese 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 relatively even distribution of top neighborhoods across the 8 cities represented in the top 25 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Vietnamese 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 Vietnamese Restaurant?

Use this ranking to shortlist neighborhoods, then drill down to specific addresses. Our analysis draws on a proprietary commercial real estate dataset spanning major US metros and every business type ranked on this site. 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:

• 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 Vietnamese Restaurants.

Scores are calculated at the address level and reflect competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and hundreds of additional factors.

Can a Vietnamese Restaurant succeed in neighborhoods outside 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.

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.
