Open local directory0–100 demand score: methodology
Each trade is scored 0–100 by weighing local demand — estimated from BLS occupational employment, the city's population, and growth outlook — against how many pros already practise the trade here. Above 70 means demand outpaces the local pros, so it's easier to win clients; under 30 means saturated supply — harder to break in unless you specialise. Rebuilt nightly. (Demand is modeled from public data; a first-party signal from quote requests and searches is next.)
Note: the score reflects opportunity to win business, not how high the trade pays. For pay, see the salary comparison. Open salary table
