Questions
How many clothing and shoe stores are in Texas?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 19,347 clothing and shoe stores in Texas. 8,501 of them (44%) are chain locations. The listings count clothing, shoe and accessory stores and boutiques. Official counts show 8,919 businesses with payroll classed as clothing and shoe stores in 2023, down 10.6% from 2019. Official counts list 28,335 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Texas spend on clothing, shoes and related services?
About $21.8B a year, or $1,983 per household. That is 4% below the U.S. average (an index of 96, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 19,347 clothing and shoe stores on map listings, it comes to $1.1M per store. That spending covers all clothing, shoes and related services, which clothing and shoe stores share with other businesses in the trade. 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 clothing and shoe stores?
Texas has 17.6 clothing and shoe stores per 10,000 households, 9% above the U.S. rate of 16.2. Spending per store is $1.1M, 11% below the U.S. figure of $1.3M. At the U.S. ratio of clothing and shoe stores to household spending, Texas would have about 17,157, against 19,347 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,233 households, against one for every 1,273 across the U.S. The official count fell 10.6% from 2019 to 2023, against −12.2% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for clothing and shoe stores?
Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area scores highest, at 71 (upper middle). Among 41 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Jacksonville area scores highest, at 70 (upper middle). Among 148 scored counties in Texas, Guadalupe County scores highest, at 93 (very 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 46 for clothing and shoe stores (lower middle), #33 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 clothing and shoe stores 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.
