Questions
How many veterinarians are in Ohio?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 1,515 veterinarians in Ohio. 266 of them (18%) are chain locations. The listings count veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. Official counts show 1,199 businesses with payroll classed as veterinary services in 2023, up 6.6% from 2019.
How much do households in Ohio spend on pets?
About $4B a year, or $832 per household. That is 8% below the U.S. average (an index of 92, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 1,515 veterinarians on map listings, it comes to $2.7M per clinic. That spending covers all pets, which veterinarians share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 4,863,191 households in Ohio and national spending patterns by income.
How does Ohio compare with the U.S. for veterinarians?
Ohio has 3.1 veterinarians per 10,000 households, 6% below the U.S. rate of 3.3. Spending per clinic is $2.7M, 2% below the U.S. figure of $2.7M. At the U.S. ratio of veterinarians to household spending, Ohio would have about 1,487, against 1,515 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 4,056 households, against one for every 3,767 across the U.S. The official count rose 6.6% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.8% for the U.S.
Which market in Ohio has the highest market score for veterinarians?

Among 24 scored small-town markets in or partly in Ohio, the Bellefontaine area scores highest, at 78 (high). Among 64 scored counties in Ohio, Greene 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. Ohio scores 51 for veterinarians (upper middle), #27 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 Ohio. It maps the veterinarians 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.
