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. Lucas County scores 38 for real estate agents and brokers (lower middle), #1,684 of 2,176 scored counties.
