How do neighborhoods compare across the United States for Seafood Restaurants?

Across 1,907 ranked neighborhoods in 22 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows the top 26 neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants averaging 82.6% survivability at a typical address, against 67.6% for the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods.

This 15.0-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 cities with the most top-ranked neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants are Seattle, Washington DC and Denver. StreetSpring's model accounts for the distinction between complementary clustering and direct saturation when scoring Seafood Restaurants survivability at the address level.

Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 26 neighborhoods represent 8 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Seafood Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

The right location can make a business; the wrong one can break it.

Scores for Seafood Restaurants run from 48.0% to 84.0% on this scale. The best address in 408 of the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods reaches the 84.0% ceiling, so the Best Locations column often shows that ceiling rather than a difference between places.

Neighborhoods are ordered on the typical address, the file's average for each neighborhood. Best Locations and Challenging Locations are the file's highest and lowest address.

What patterns emerge from the top-performing neighborhoods nationwide?

City Concentration

The top 26 neighborhoods span 8 different cities, with Seattle claiming 7 of the top spots (27%).

Breakdown of top 26 neighborhoods by city:

Seattle: 7 neighborhoods (27% of top 26): View city guide
Washington DC: 6 neighborhoods (23% of top 26): View city guide
Denver: 5 neighborhoods (19% of top 26)
Atlanta: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Chicago: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Charlotte: 2 neighborhoods (8% of top 26): View city guide
Boston: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide
Orlando: 1 neighborhood (4% of top 26): View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Seafood Restaurants 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.

The relatively even distribution of top neighborhoods across the 8 cities represented in the top 26 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Seafood Restaurants operators, this means strong site opportunities exist in multiple markets: the key variable is neighborhood-level competitive conditions rather than city-level market size.

How can I use this neighborhood ranking to find the best location for a Seafood Restaurant?

While nationwide neighborhood rankings identify standout markets, address-level analysis reveals even greater variation. The StreetSpring platform combines proprietary consumer spending forecasts, competitive density analysis, and local demand modeling to produce survivability predictions no other tool replicates. 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

Each neighborhood has detailed analysis available through its city guide, providing block-by-block survivability data for Seafood Restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which neighborhoods tie for #1 for Seafood Restaurants?

Blandtown in Atlanta and Woodland in Seattle tie for #1 for Seafood Restaurants, each with 83.6% survivability at a typical address (the average in each metro file, which is what this ranking orders on). StreetSpring's model weighs competitive dynamics (direct competitors relative to available consumer spending), demographic alignment with Seafood Restaurant customers and local spending patterns for every ranked neighborhood nationwide.

How do I interpret a survivability score?

A survivability score represents the estimated probability that a business of a specific type will still be operating at a given location after 2 years. A score of 80% means StreetSpring's model predicts an 80% chance of the business surviving past the 2-year mark at that address. Scores are calculated at the address level and reflect competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and hundreds of additional factors.

How does the national ranking for Seafood Restaurants compare to city-level rankings?

The national neighborhood ranking for Seafood Restaurants 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.

Where can I download the underlying data?

What is the difference between city-level and neighborhood-level survivability rankings for Seafood Restaurants?

City-level rankings reflect average survivability for Seafood Restaurants across all neighborhoods in a given city: useful for identifying which cities offer the best overall conditions. Neighborhood-level rankings go deeper, showing which specific neighborhoods within those cities rank highest. StreetSpring's address-level tool adds a third layer, scoring individual storefronts within any neighborhood.

How should a landlord use this ranking when evaluating tenants for Seafood Restaurants?

Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Seafood Restaurants, and by extension, how likely a Seafood Restaurant tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 26 neighborhoods, Seafood Restaurants 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 type of neighborhood is best for opening a Seafood Restaurant?

The best neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants share three characteristics: manageable competitive density (few existing direct competitors within the primary trade area), strong consumer spending on this category, and demographic alignment with the typical Seafood Restaurant customer base. In StreetSpring's 2026 data, the top-ranked neighborhoods for Seafood Restaurants combine these factors and score well above the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods, 67.6% at a typical address. Neighborhoods with dense existing competition or low category spending tend to score significantly lower, regardless of overall foot traffic or prestige.

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.

Technical note: Aggregated national survivability rankings across the metros in this ranking are available in machine-readable format for research and integration purposes.

The table above reproduces from these metro files, one per city: Atlanta, Seattle, Washington DC, Denver, Chicago, Charlotte, Boston, Orlando.

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 Seafood Restaurants 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.
