At the U.S. ratio of primary care and pediatric clinics to household spending, Ohio would have about 3,817, against 2,964 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 833 households, against one for every 593 across the U.S. The official count fell 9.7% from 2019 to 2023, against −2.2% for the U.S.

Among 28 scored small-town markets in or partly in Ohio, the Mount Vernon area scores highest, at 87 (high). Among 76 scored counties in Ohio, Pickaway County scores highest, at 91 (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 68 for primary care and pediatric clinics (upper middle), #10 of the 50 states and DC.
