Questions
How many veterinarians are in Texas?
Map listings as of September 2026 show 3,705 veterinarians in Texas. 755 of them (20%) are chain locations. The listings count veterinary clinics and animal hospitals. Official counts show 2,816 businesses with payroll classed as veterinary services in 2023, up 12.8% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on pets?
About $10.4B a year, or $950 per household. That is 4% above the U.S. average (an index of 104, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 3,705 veterinarians on map listings, it comes to $2.8M per clinic. That spending covers all pets, which veterinarians share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for veterinarians?
Texas has 3.4 veterinarians per 10,000 households, 3% above the U.S. rate of 3.3. Spending per clinic is $2.8M, 4% above the U.S. figure of $2.7M. At the U.S. ratio of veterinarians to household spending, Texas would have about 3,838, against 3,705 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 3,904 households, against one for every 3,767 across the U.S. The official count rose 12.8% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.8% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for veterinarians?
Among 25 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Midland metro area scores highest, at 91 (very high). Among 25 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Lufkin area scores highest, at 75 (high). Among 103 scored counties in Texas, Midland County scores highest, at 92 (very 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. Texas scores 70 for veterinarians (upper middle), #8 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 Texas. 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.
