Questions
How many gas stations are in Indiana?

Official counts show 2,885 businesses with payroll classed as gasoline stations in 2023, up 3.4% from 2019. Official counts also show 63 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Indiana spend on gasoline and other fuels?
About $7.4B a year, or $2,718 per household. That is 5% above the U.S. average (an index of 105, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 3,709 gas stations on map listings, it comes to $2M per station. It is estimated from the incomes of the 2,716,009 households in Indiana and national spending patterns by income.
How does Indiana compare with the U.S. for gas stations?
Indiana has 13.7 gas stations per 10,000 households, 26% above the U.S. rate of 10.9. Spending per station is $2M, 17% below the U.S. figure of $2.4M. At the national ratio of gas stations to household spending, Indiana would have about 3,095, against 3,709 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 941 households, against one for every 1,184 across the U.S. The official count rose 3.4% from 2019 to 2023, against −3.1% for the U.S.
Which market in Indiana has the highest market score for gas stations?
Among 15 scored metro areas in or partly in Indiana, the Columbus metro area scores highest, at 68 (upper middle). Among 25 scored small-town markets in or partly in Indiana, the Madison area scores highest, at 84 (high). Among 86 scored counties in Indiana, Hamilton County scores highest, at 88 (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. Indiana scores 41 for gas stations (lower middle), #35 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 Indiana. It maps the gas stations 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.
