How many laundromats are in Missouri?
There are 352 laundromats on map listings in Missouri as of September 2026. 50 of them (14%) are chain locations. The listings count laundromats. Official counts show 132 businesses with payroll classed as coin-operated laundries in 2023, down 1.5% from 2019.
How much do households in Missouri spend on clothing, shoes and related services?
About $4.9B a year, or $1,939 per household. That is 6% below the U.S. average (an index of 94, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 352 laundromats on map listings, it comes to $13.8M per laundromat. The spending figure covers all clothing, shoes and related services, not only laundromats. It is estimated from the incomes of the 2,508,227 households in Missouri and national spending patterns by income.
How does Missouri compare with the U.S. for laundromats?
Missouri has 1.4 laundromats per 10,000 households, 13% below the U.S. rate of 1.6. Spending per laundromat is $13.8M, 10% above the U.S. figure of $12.5M. At the national ratio of laundromats to household spending, Missouri would have about 389, against 352 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 19,002 households, against one for every 11,865 across the U.S. The official count fell 1.5% from 2019 to 2023, against +3.0% for the U.S.
Which market in Missouri has the highest market score for laundromats?
Among 8 scored metro areas in or partly in Missouri, the Columbia metro area scores highest, at 79 (high). Among 4 scored small-town markets in or partly in Missouri, the Quincy area scores highest, at 59 (upper middle). Among 12 scored counties in Missouri, St. Charles 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. Missouri scores 49 for laundromats (lower middle), #29 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 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.
