Questions
How many dry cleaners are in Texas?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 1,968 dry cleaners in Texas. 663 of them (34%) are chain locations. The listings count dry cleaners. Official counts show 1,485 businesses with payroll classed as dry cleaning and laundry services in 2023, down 15.8% from 2019.
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 1,968 dry cleaners on map listings, it comes to $11.1M per shop. That spending covers all clothing, shoes and related services, which dry cleaners 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 dry cleaners?
Texas has 1.8 dry cleaners per 10,000 households, 38% above the U.S. rate of 1.3. Spending per shop is $11.1M, 29% below the U.S. figure of $15.7M. At the U.S. ratio of dry cleaners to household spending, Texas would have about 1,391, against 1,968 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 7,403 households, against one for every 8,177 across the U.S. The official count fell 15.8% from 2019 to 2023, against −18.7% for the U.S.

Among 23 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metro area scores highest, at 54 (upper middle). Among 47 scored counties in Texas, Hays County scores highest, at 80 (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 35 for dry cleaners (lower middle), #43 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 dry cleaners 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.
