How many laundromats are in Florida?
Florida has 1,256 laundromats on map listings as of September 2026. 236 of them (19%) are chain locations. The listings count laundromats. Official counts show 705 businesses with payroll classed as coin-operated laundries in 2023, up 11.9% from 2019.
How much do households in Florida spend on clothing, shoes and related services?
About $16.8B a year, or $1,922 per household. That is 6% below the U.S. average (an index of 94, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 1,256 laundromats on map listings, it comes to $13.4M per laundromat. The spending figure covers all clothing, shoes and related services, not only laundromats. It is estimated from the incomes of the 8,752,810 households in Florida and national spending patterns by income.
How does Florida compare with the U.S. for laundromats?
Florida has 1.4 laundromats per 10,000 households, 13% below the U.S. rate of 1.6. Spending per laundromat is $13.4M, 7% above the U.S. figure of $12.5M. At the national ratio of laundromats to household spending, Florida would have about 1,345, against 1,256 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 12,415 households, against one for every 11,865 across the U.S. The official count rose 11.9% from 2019 to 2023, against +3.0% for the U.S.

Among 3 scored small-town markets in or partly in Florida, the Palatka area scores highest, at 62 (upper middle). Among 36 scored counties in Florida, Santa Rosa County scores highest, at 88 (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. Florida scores 50 for laundromats (upper middle), #27 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 Florida. It maps the laundromats 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.
