What this means

Household spending on personal care products and services in the Moscow area comes to about $14.7M a year: $904 per household, 10% below the U.S. average. That works out to $3.7M per shop, 95% above the U.S. figure of $1.9M. The spending figure covers all personal care products and services, not only barbershops.

There are 4 barbershops on map listings in the Moscow area as of September 2026. That is 2.5 per 10,000 households, 53% below the U.S. rate of 5.3.

Official counts don’t publish a figure for barber shops in the Moscow area, since they leave out counts under 3. Official counts also show 8 one-person businesses without payroll.

Between 2020 and 2025, the population of the Moscow area grew 5.6%, faster than the U.S. (+3.1%). With 4 barbershops on map listings, the Moscow area isn’t given a market score: the score needs at least 5, since one listing more or less would swing it.

How the Moscow area compares

The same measures for Idaho and the whole U.S. Spending per listing divides a year of household spending on all personal care products and services by the barbershops counted, so it measures the demand for each competitor, not any business’s revenue. Households per establishment does the same with the official count.

What is the Groundwork market score?

The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. A small-town market is a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people and the county or counties tied to it by commuting. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. The Moscow area has no market score for barbershops: the score needs at least 5 on map listings, and it has 4.
