Best and Worst are the average results for the better and the worse of two addresses picked at random in the place: a weighted average of every scored location in which the best locations count the most for Best and the weakest count the most for Worst. Typical is the average address. Best is shown for a smaller space (half the standard size) and Worst for a larger one (half again as large), at the metro's median asking rent, using the same rent rule as our tool; Typical is at the market rent.
These averages are directional, not definitive; the best decision comes from analyzing your specific storefront. StreetSpring refreshes survivability data continuously: check the tool for the most current score at any address.
