The McAllen-Edinburg metro has 595 larger buildings in flooring-buying categories, led by ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (291), and 1 nonresidential flooring contractors working them. It over-indexes on warehousing and distribution, which should anchor a target list.
These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the McAllen-Edinburg metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, McAllen-Edinburg leans toward warehousing and distribution (3.04x), auto dealerships (2.18x) and ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (2.06x). Build the list around those categories. Senior living and skilled nursing and apartment and multifamily management companies 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.
