Questions
How many house cleaning businesses are in Texas?
There are 2,322 house cleaning businesses on map listings in Texas as of September 2026. 159 of them (7%) are chain locations. The listings count house cleaners and carpet cleaners. Official counts show 4,263 businesses with payroll classed as janitorial and carpet cleaning services in 2023, up 6.0% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on lawn care, cleaning and other household services?
About $17B a year, or $1,545 per household. That is 9% above the U.S. average (an index of 109, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 2,322 house cleaning businesses on map listings, it comes to $7.3M per business. The spending figure covers all lawn care, cleaning and other household services, not only house cleaning businesses. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for house cleaning businesses?
Texas has 2.1 house cleaning businesses per 10,000 households, 5% below the U.S. rate of 2.2. Spending per business is $7.3M, 14% above the U.S. figure of $6.4M. At the national ratio of house cleaning businesses to household spending, Texas would have about 2,656, against 2,322 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 2,579 households, against one for every 1,735 across the U.S. The official count rose 6.0% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.6% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for house cleaning businesses?
Among 24 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area scores highest, at 84 (high). Among 4 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Athens area scores highest, at 83 (high). Among 48 scored counties in Texas, Guadalupe County scores highest, at 93 (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. Texas scores 87 for house cleaning businesses (high), #2 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 Texas. 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.
