How does Georgia compare with the U.S. for property management companies?

Georgia has 2.9 property management companies per 10,000 households, 3% below the U.S. rate of 3.0. The index of housing spending per company is 97, where 100 is the U.S. At the U.S. ratio of property management companies to household spending, Georgia would have about 1,139, against 1,175 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,764 households, against one for every 1,638 across the U.S. The official count rose 27.1% from 2019 to 2023, against +11.4% for the U.S.

Among 3 scored small-town markets in or partly in Georgia, the Kingsland area scores highest, at 64 (upper middle). Among 38 scored counties in Georgia, Barrow County scores highest, at 80 (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 51 for property management companies (upper middle), #24 of the 50 states and DC.
