Final Verdict

75225 Preston Center

Composite Score: 4.3 / 5.0

Fastest-growing (+27% YoY), most undersaturated (1.8 venues/1K), highest income ($180K), highest traffic (74.7K AADT). New competition (Frenchie, Pizzana, CRAFT) is validation, not threat. Best for: modern Japanese, premium steakhouse, or wine-forward concept.

75219 Oak Lawn Corridor

Composite Score: 3.5 / 5.0

Steady +10% growth with consolidation. Revenue rising while weak operators exit. Anchored by $500K+/mo operators (Al Biernat's, Mansion Bar). Best for: intimate wine bar or Mediterranean.

75205 Knox Street

Composite Score: 3.2 / 5.0

Highest revenue per venue ($117K) but contracting (-3.6% YoY). Dominated by Katz Group portfolio. Best for experienced operators who can compete at the top.

Avoid

75201 Uptown

Composite Score: 2.5 / 5.0

Revenue declining (-2.7%) despite new venues. 8.5 venues per 1,000 residents = severe oversaturation. Only viable for nationally branded concepts.
