The same measures for North Carolina and the whole U.S. Spending per listing divides a year of household spending on all home repairs, maintenance and insurance by the roofing and gutter companies counted, so it measures the demand for each competitor, not any business’s revenue.

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. A small-town market is a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people and the county or counties tied to it by commuting. 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. The Sanford area scores 52 for roofing and gutter companies (upper middle), #132 of 288 scored small-town markets.
