Georgia has 2.0 pest control companies per 10,000 households, 43% above the U.S. rate of 1.4. Spending per company is $7.6M, 25% below the U.S. figure of $10.2M. At the national ratio of pest control companies to household spending, Georgia would have about 608, against 814 on map listings.

Among 7 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Jefferson area scores highest, at 78 (high). Among 43 scored counties in Georgia, Fulton County scores highest, at 81 (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 41 for pest control companies (lower middle), #35 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 pest control companies 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.
