About $3.6B a year, or $1,550 per household. That is 20% above the U.S. average (an index of 120, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 2,152 chiropractors on map listings, it comes to $1.7M per practice.

At the U.S. ratio of chiropractors to household spending, Minnesota would have about 1,495, against 2,152 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,730 households, against one for every 3,237 across the U.S. The official count fell 1.2% from 2019 to 2023, against +0.8% for the U.S.

Among 19 scored small-town markets in or partly in Minnesota, the Austin area scores highest, at 63 (upper middle). Among 55 scored counties in Minnesota, Benton County scores highest, at 77 (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. Minnesota scores 33 for chiropractors (lower middle), #45 of the 50 states and DC.
