How many laundromats are in Georgia?

As of September 2026, map listings count 527 laundromats in Georgia. 82 of them (16%) are chain locations. The listings count laundromats. Official counts show 258 businesses with payroll classed as coin-operated laundries in 2023, up 5.7% from 2019.

How much do households in Georgia spend on clothing, shoes and related services?

About $8B a year, or $1,958 per household. That is 5% below the U.S. average (an index of 95, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 527 laundromats on map listings, it comes to $15.1M per laundromat. That spending covers all clothing, shoes and related services, which laundromats share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,074,366 households in Georgia and national spending patterns by income.

Georgia has 1.3 laundromats per 10,000 households, 19% below the U.S. rate of 1.6. Spending per laundromat is $15.1M, 21% above the U.S. figure of $12.5M. At the U.S. ratio of laundromats to household spending, Georgia would have about 638, against 527 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 15,792 households, against one for every 11,865 across the U.S. The official count rose 5.7% from 2019 to 2023, against +3.0% for the U.S.

Which market in Georgia has the highest market score for laundromats?

Among 5 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Statesboro area scores highest, at 76 (high). Among 27 scored counties in Georgia, Columbia 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. Georgia scores 61 for laundromats (upper middle), #14 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 Georgia. 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.
