How do neighborhoods compare across the United States for Pet Grooming Shops?

Across 1,907 ranked neighborhoods in 22 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows the top 26 neighborhoods for Pet Grooming Shops averaging 80.9% survivability at a typical address, against 66.6% for the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods.

This 14.3-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.

The consumer spending patterns that support Pet Grooming Shops vary more by neighborhood than by city, which is why neighborhood-level analysis is particularly valuable for this business category. A 14.3-point gap separates the top neighborhoods from the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods, both at a typical address. StreetSpring's precision means two storefronts on the same block can carry materially different odds of lasting two years.

Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 26 neighborhoods represent 11 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Pet Grooming Shops can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

A great product in the wrong location will underperform; an average product in the right location can thrive.

This distribution has practical implications for Pet Grooming Shops operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 26 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-26 neighborhood require more precise site selection: the advantage is concentrated in one area rather than spread across the metro.

Denver holds 12 of the top 26 neighborhoods for Pet Grooming Shops (46%). Each city guide lists every ranked neighborhood in that metro, beyond the top 26.

How can I use this neighborhood ranking to find the best location for a Pet Grooming Shop?

While nationwide neighborhood rankings identify standout markets, address-level analysis reveals even greater variation. Our analysis draws on a proprietary commercial real estate dataset spanning major US metros and every business type ranked on this site. Even within top-ranked neighborhoods, the lowest and highest address can sit several points apart, as the Best Locations and Challenging Locations columns show.

For the most accurate assessment:

Consider neighborhoods in the top 26 as strong starting points
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

Frequently Asked Questions

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. Because competitive conditions shift as new businesses enter or exit a neighborhood, the specific rankings for any given business type can shift between updates, which is why we recommend verifying specific addresses in StreetSpring's live tool before making a final site selection decision.

How does StreetSpring calculate survivability for Pet Grooming Shops specifically?

StreetSpring's model calculates survivability for Pet Grooming Shops by analyzing the competitive density of existing Pet Grooming Shops within each distance band around the address, the projected consumer spending on Pet Grooming Shops in that location, the housing vacancy rate and business mix around the site, and hundreds of additional factors. The resulting survivability score reflects the estimated probability of a new Pet Grooming Shop surviving two or more years at that specific address.

Can a Pet Grooming Shop succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 26?

Yes, the top 26 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Pet Grooming Shops can achieve strong survivability in many other neighborhoods as well. What matters is finding a location where competitive density is low enough and consumer spending is strong enough to support the business. StreetSpring's address-level tool identifies high-survivability addresses in any neighborhood, including those not represented in this top-26 list.

Where can I download the underlying data?

How should a landlord use this ranking when evaluating tenants for Pet Grooming Shops?

Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Pet Grooming Shops, and by extension, how likely a Pet Grooming Shop tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 26 neighborhoods, Pet Grooming Shops represent a strong tenant category. If not, StreetSpring's address-level tool will show the survivability score for your specific address and which tenant types score highest there.

What is the typical survivability range for Pet Grooming Shops in top neighborhoods?

The top 26 neighborhoods nationwide for Pet Grooming Shops average 80.9% survivability at a typical address. The average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods is 66.6%, also at a typical address. The gap between the two is 14.3 points. Each neighborhood's lowest and highest address are in the table above.

Are there good opportunities outside the top 26 neighborhoods?

Absolutely. This ranking covers 1,907 ranked neighborhoods across 22 cities. Many neighborhoods outside the top 26 have excellent individual locations for Pet Grooming Shops. Neighborhood-level rankings reflect averages: specific addresses within any neighborhood can score well above or below the neighborhood mean. Use city-specific guides and StreetSpring's address-level tool to explore options beyond the top 26.

How does the national ranking for Pet Grooming Shops compare to city-level rankings?

The national neighborhood ranking for Pet Grooming Shops identifies the strongest neighborhoods across the 22 metros in this ranking. City-level rankings provide a more granular view of the best neighborhoods within a specific city. In cases where a city has multiple neighborhoods in the national top 26, the city-level guide shows the full ranking of all neighborhoods in that market: including those outside the national top 26 that may still offer strong site-specific opportunities.

StreetSpring recalculates survivability using the latest competitive, demographic, and walkability data, so the live score may differ from the static ranges shown here.

Methodology: Neighborhoods are ranked on the typical address: the average Survivability Score for Pet Grooming Shops across the scored locations within each neighborhood, as its metro file publishes it. The average across all ranked neighborhoods is the plain mean of those figures, not the national average on the city ranking, which averages metros. Rankings represent neighborhood-level conditions but do not account for block-by-block variation. Coverage includes 1907 neighborhoods across 22 major US cities. 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.
