How much do households in Iowa spend on medical and dental services?
About $1.9B a year, or $1,412 per household. That is 10% above the U.S. average (an index of 110, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 1,387 chiropractors on map listings, it comes to $1.3M per practice. The spending figure covers all medical and dental services, not only chiropractors.

At the national ratio of chiropractors to household spending, Iowa would have about 776, against 1,387 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,509 households, against one for every 3,237 across the U.S. The official count fell 0.6% from 2019 to 2023, against +0.8% for the U.S.

Among 57 scored counties in Iowa, Dallas County scores highest, at 54 (upper middle). 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. Iowa scores 24 for chiropractors (low), #51 of the 50 states and DC.
