How Houston County compares
The same measures for Minnesota and the whole U.S. Spending per listing divides a year of household spending on all lawn care, cleaning and other household services by the house cleaning businesses counted, so it measures the demand for each competitor, not any business’s revenue. Households per establishment does the same with the official count.
