Questions
How many primary care and pediatric clinics are in Virginia?

The listings count primary care, family medicine and pediatric clinics. Official counts show 5,133 businesses with payroll classed as offices of physicians in 2023, down 2.9% from 2019. Official counts list 5,393 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Virginia spend on medical and dental services?
About $4.3B a year, or $1,264 per household. That is 2% below the U.S. average (an index of 98, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 2,306 primary care and pediatric clinics on map listings, it comes to $1.8M per clinic. That spending covers all medical and dental services, which primary care and pediatric clinics share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 3,365,732 households in Virginia and national spending patterns by income.
How does Virginia compare with the U.S. for primary care and pediatric clinics?
Virginia has 6.9 primary care and pediatric clinics per 10,000 households, 4% below the U.S. rate of 7.2. Spending per clinic is $1.8M, 4% above the U.S. figure of $1.8M. At the U.S. ratio of primary care and pediatric clinics to household spending, Virginia would have about 2,390, against 2,306 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 656 households, against one for every 593 across the U.S. The official count fell 2.9% from 2019 to 2023, against −2.2% for the U.S.
Which market in Virginia has the highest market score for primary care and pediatric clinics?
Among 11 scored metro areas in or partly in Virginia, the Lynchburg metro area scores highest, at 67 (upper middle). Among 4 scored small-town markets in or partly in Virginia, the Lake of the Woods area scores highest, at 84 (high). Among 71 scored counties in Virginia, Frederick County scores highest, at 89 (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. Virginia scores 45 for primary care and pediatric clinics (lower middle), #31 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 Virginia. It maps the primary care and pediatric 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.
