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.

Neighborhood averages mask significant block-by-block variation: always check your specific address. New competitor openings and closures happen weekly: the live tool ensures you see the latest picture.

The ranking runs on Best. Every figure is the projected chance of lasting two or more years, as printed in the linked file. See our full methodology →
