How does Georgia compare with the U.S. for house cleaning businesses?

Georgia has 2.4 house cleaning businesses per 10,000 households, 9% above the U.S. rate of 2.2. Spending per business is $6.3M, 2% below the U.S. figure of $6.4M. At the national ratio of house cleaning businesses to household spending, Georgia would have about 972, against 989 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,863 households, against one for every 1,735 across the U.S. The official count rose 7.4% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.6% for the U.S.

Among 6 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Statesboro area scores highest, at 73 (upper middle). Among 39 scored counties in Georgia, Walton County scores highest, at 90 (very 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. Georgia scores 64 for house cleaning businesses (upper middle), #11 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 Georgia. It maps the house cleaning businesses 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.
