What this means

Households in the Moscow area spend about $267.7M a year on rent and homeowner costs, or $16,456 per household, in line with the U.S. average. The spending figure is all rent and homeowner costs, a measure of housing demand, not money home inspectors take in.

The Moscow area has 2 home inspectors on map listings as of September 2026. That is 1.2 per 10,000 households.

Official counts don’t publish a figure for building inspection services in the Moscow area, since they leave out counts under 3.

Population estimates show the Moscow area grew 5.6% from 2020 to 2025, faster than the U.S. (+3.1%). With 2 home inspectors on map listings, the Moscow area isn’t given a market score: the score needs at least 5, since one listing more or less would swing it.

How the Moscow area compares

The same measures for Idaho and the whole U.S. Housing spending per listing divides all rent and homeowner costs by the listings counted: a measure of housing demand for each business, not money any of them take in, so it is shown against the U.S. (100) only. Households per establishment divides households by the official count.

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. A small-town market is a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people and the county or counties tied to it by commuting. 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. The Moscow area has no market score for home inspectors: the score needs at least 5 on map listings, and it has 2.
