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.

Even neighborhoods with modest average scores can harbor exceptional individual locations. However, market conditions change daily, and it's best to use StreetSpring's live data to check the Survivability Score for a specific address.
