Questions
Which metro areas have the highest market score for electricians?
The top 5 are Wildwood-The Villages, FL (93); Warner Robins, GA (88); Corvallis, OR (85); Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV (85); and Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA (82). The score compares each of 383 scored metro areas with the others for electricians.
How many electricians are in the U.S.?
As of September 2026, map listings count 32,477 electricians in the U.S. 413 of them (1%) are chain locations. The listings count electricians. Official counts show 83,342 businesses with payroll classed as electrical contractors in 2023, up 9.2% from 2019.
How much do U.S. households spend on home repairs, maintenance and insurance?
About $389.9B a year, or $3,018 per household. Spread across the 32,477 electricians on map listings, it comes to $12M per company. That spending covers all home repairs, maintenance and insurance, which electricians share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 129,209,336 households in the U.S. and national spending patterns by income.
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. Markets with fewer than 5 map listings of the type, and counties under 10,000 people, aren’t scored, since a few businesses can swing their figures.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address anywhere in the U.S. It maps the electricians 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.
