Questions
How many mortgage brokers and lenders are in Texas?
As of September 2026, map listings count 4,624 mortgage brokers and lenders in Texas. 1,016 of them (22%) are chain locations. The listings count mortgage brokers and mortgage lenders. Official counts show 2,070 businesses with payroll classed as mortgage brokers and real estate lenders in 2023, up 7.4% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on rent and homeowner costs?
About $172.4B a year, or $15,682 per household. That is 6% below the U.S. average (an index of 94, where 100 is the U.S. average). For the 4,624 mortgage brokers and lenders on map listings, housing spending per office is 4% below the U.S. figure. That figure is all rent and homeowner costs, used as a measure of housing demand; it is not money mortgage brokers and lenders take in. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for mortgage brokers and lenders?
Texas has 4.2 mortgage brokers and lenders per 10,000 households, 2% below the U.S. rate of 4.3. The index of housing spending per office is 96, where 100 is the U.S. At the U.S. ratio of mortgage brokers and lenders to household spending, Texas would have about 4,418, against 4,624 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 5,311 households, against one for every 4,897 across the U.S. The official count rose 7.4% from 2019 to 2023, against +9.5% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for mortgage brokers and lenders?
Among 24 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Midland metro area scores highest, at 77 (high). Among 6 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Gainesville area scores highest, at 68 (upper middle). Among 51 scored counties in Texas, Guadalupe County scores highest, at 90 (very 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. Texas scores 50 for mortgage brokers and lenders (upper middle), #23 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 Texas. It maps the mortgage brokers and lenders 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.
