How much do households in Ohio spend on medical and dental services?
About $6.8B a year, or $1,398 per household. That is 9% above the U.S. average (an index of 109, where 100 is the U.S. average).

It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,863,191 households in Ohio and national spending patterns by income.
How does Ohio compare with the U.S. for physical therapy clinics?
Ohio has 4.0 physical therapy clinics per 10,000 households, 26% below the U.S. rate of 5.4. Spending per clinic is $3.5M, 46% above the U.S. figure of $2.4M. At the U.S. ratio of physical therapy clinics to household spending, Ohio would have about 2,829, against 1,940 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 4,225 households, against one for every 2,482 across the U.S. The official count rose 11.1% from 2019 to 2023, against +23.1% for the U.S.

Among 22 scored small-town markets in or partly in Ohio, the Wooster area scores highest, at 86 (high). Among 59 scored counties in Ohio, Union County scores highest, at 99 (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. Ohio scores 79 for physical therapy clinics (high), #3 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 Ohio. It maps the physical therapy clinics 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.
