Questions
How many barbershops are in Texas?
Texas has 7,572 barbershops on map listings as of September 2026. 1,004 of them (13%) are chain locations. The listings count barbershops. Official counts show 605 businesses with payroll classed as barber shops in 2023, up 65.8% from 2019. Official counts list 15,671 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Texas spend on personal care products and services?
About $10.3B a year, or $937 per household. That is 7% below the U.S. average (an index of 93, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 7,572 barbershops on map listings, it comes to $1.4M per shop. The spending figure covers all personal care products and services, not only barbershops. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for barbershops?
Texas has 6.9 barbershops per 10,000 households, 30% above the U.S. rate of 5.3. Spending per shop is $1.4M, 28% below the U.S. figure of $1.9M. At the national ratio of barbershops to household spending, Texas would have about 5,465, against 7,572 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 18,170 households, against one for every 16,589 across the U.S. The official count rose 65.8% from 2019 to 2023, against +28.5% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for barbershops?
Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area scores highest, at 64 (upper middle). Among 31 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Fredericksburg area scores highest, at 73 (upper middle). Among 109 scored counties in Texas, Medina County scores highest, at 78 (high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
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. 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. Texas scores 34 for barbershops (lower middle), #46 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Texas. It maps the barbershops on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
