At the national ratio of HVAC and plumbing companies to household spending, Missouri would have about 1,406, against 1,626 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,310 households, against one for every 1,162 across the U.S. The official count rose 4.7% from 2019 to 2023, against +7.6% for the U.S.

Among 15 scored small-town markets in or partly in Missouri, the Hannibal area scores highest, at 67 (upper middle). Among 56 scored counties in Missouri, Platte County scores highest, at 84 (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. Missouri scores 38 for HVAC and plumbing companies (lower middle), #38 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 Missouri. It maps the HVAC and plumbing companies 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.
