For the 6,086 real estate agents and brokers on map listings, housing spending per office is 13% above the U.S. figure. The spending figure is all rent and homeowner costs, a measure of housing demand, not money real estate agents and brokers take in. It is estimated from the incomes of the 2,716,009 households in Indiana and national spending patterns by income.

How does Indiana compare with the U.S. for real estate agents and brokers?

Indiana has 22.4 real estate agents and brokers per 10,000 households, 27% below the U.S. rate of 30.6. The index of housing spending per office is 113, where 100 is the U.S. At the national ratio of real estate agents and brokers to household spending, Indiana would have about 6,884, against 6,086 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,013 households, against one for every 788 across the U.S. The official count rose 26.4% from 2019 to 2023, against +20.1% for the U.S.

Which market in Indiana has the highest market score for real estate agents and brokers?

Among 15 scored metro areas in or partly in Indiana, the Terre Haute metro area scores highest, at 59 (upper middle). Among 25 scored small-town markets in or partly in Indiana, the Washington area scores highest, at 72 (upper middle). Among 80 scored counties in Indiana, LaGrange County scores highest, at 74 (upper middle). 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. Indiana scores 47 for real estate agents and brokers (lower middle), #29 of the 50 states and DC.
