How Gem County compares
The same measures for Idaho 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 landscaping and lawn care companies counted, so it measures the demand for each competitor, not any business’s revenue. Households per establishment does the same with the official count.
