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

Across 1,907 ranked neighborhoods in 22 major US cities, StreetSpring's 2026 data shows the top 25 neighborhoods for Thai Restaurants averaging 82.3% survivability at a typical address, against 67.8% for the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods.

This 14.5-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 Thai Restaurants vary more by neighborhood than by city, which is why neighborhood-level analysis is particularly valuable for this business category. A 14.5-point gap separates the top neighborhoods from the average across the 1,907 ranked neighborhoods, both at a typical address. StreetSpring can give you the precise likelihood that hundreds of different businesses will last at an exact address.

Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 25 neighborhoods represent 8 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Thai Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

Location is one of the few things about a new business you can measure before it opens.

What patterns emerge from the top-performing neighborhoods nationwide?

City Concentration

The top 25 neighborhoods span 8 different cities, with Washington DC claiming 8 of the top spots (32%).

Breakdown of top 25 neighborhoods by city:

This distribution has practical implications for Thai Restaurants operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 25 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-25 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 25 is consistent with a category where consumer demand is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in specific metros. For Thai 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 Thai Restaurant?

While nationwide neighborhood rankings identify standout markets, address-level analysis reveals even greater variation. StreetSpring's AI-driven platform has studied businesses serving more than 180 million+ Americans, making its survivability predictions the most empirically grounded in the market. 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 25 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 Thai Restaurants.

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 25.


What demographic factors drive survivability for Thai Restaurants?

For Thai Restaurants, StreetSpring's model incorporates neighborhood-level demographic data including population density, median household income, employment rates, and consumer spending on this specific category. These factors vary by business type: the demographic profile that drives survivability for Thai Restaurant customers may differ significantly from what matters for other business categories.


Where can I download the underlying data?

Every neighborhood figure on this page comes from the metro file for its city, each a free download under CC BY 4.0: Denver (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/denver-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Orlando (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/orlando-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Washington DC (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/washington-dc-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Atlanta (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/atlanta-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Los Angeles (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/los-angeles-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Chicago (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/chicago-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Charlotte (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/charlotte-survivability-scores-2026.csv), Seattle (https://streetspring.com/resources/data/seattle-survivability-scores-2026.csv). The national file, https://streetspring.com/resources/data/national-survivability-scores-2026.csv, has one row per metro and business type.


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 Thai Restaurants compare to city-level rankings?

The national neighborhood ranking for Thai 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 25, the city-level guide shows the full ranking of all neighborhoods in that market: including those outside the national top 25 that may still offer strong site-specific opportunities.


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

Landlords can use this national neighborhood ranking to assess whether their property is in a location favorable to Thai Restaurants, and by extension, how likely a Thai Restaurant tenant is to maintain long-term occupancy. If your property is in one of the top 25 neighborhoods, Thai 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.


Can a Thai Restaurant succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 25?

Yes, the top 25 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Thai Restaurants 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-25 list.

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

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 Thai 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.
