At the U.S. ratio of landscaping and lawn care companies to household spending, Georgia would have about 2,124, against 2,297 on map listings.

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 69 for landscaping and lawn care companies (upper middle), #11 of the 50 states and DC.
