About $3.8B a year, or $3,288 per household. That is 19% below the U.S. average (an index of 81, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 1,056 coffee shops and cafes on map listings, it comes to $3.6M per cafe.

At the U.S. ratio of coffee shops and cafes to household spending, Mississippi would have about 1,017, against 1,056 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,859 households, against one for every 1,518 across the U.S. The official count rose 68.3% from 2019 to 2023, against +24.3% for the U.S.
Which market in Mississippi has the highest market score for coffee shops and cafes?

Among 17 scored small-town markets in or partly in Mississippi, the Vicksburg area scores highest, at 62 (upper middle). Among 48 scored counties in Mississippi, George County scores highest, at 67 (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. Mississippi scores 33 for coffee shops and cafes (lower middle), #41 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 Mississippi. It maps the coffee shops and cafes 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.
