These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for cleaning work, with how many of each are in the Spokane-Spokane Valley metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Spokane-Spokane Valley leans toward senior living and skilled nursing (2.84x) and auto dealerships (1.25x). Build the list around those categories. Hospital campuses and commercial property management firms are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.
Locations are establishments with 20 or more employees (U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023); property management and similar companies are counted in full, whatever their size.

Buildings per contractor: Spokane and nearby markets
211 janitorial services establishments are based in the Spokane-Spokane Valley metro. That is 6 fewer than a year ago. When a contractor closes or sells, its customers go looking for a new one. The trade is 1.8 times the national concentration. Facility and office managers here already hear from commercial cleaning companies, and a specific reason to talk beats a generic pitch. 2.9 larger cleaning-buying buildings per contractor puts Spokane 83 of 100 markets, and 2 of 2 in Washington. That is toward the crowded end, so growth here comes mostly from displacing incumbents at renewal. If you can serve Seattle and Portland, they have more larger buildings per contractor than Spokane.
