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.

A low-ranking neighborhood can still contain high-potential storefronts: the address matters most. Our live tool reflects the latest competitive landscape: these static rankings may already be slightly out of date.

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 →
