ProFix Directory. (2026-06-13). Contractor Density by State: Verified Pros per Indexed Resident (2026). https://profixdirectory.com/data-studies/contractor-density-by-state-2026. Data source: data/seed/gold-tier-pros-by-state/*.json, data/seed/all-cities.json, data/seed/cost-guides-national.json, data/permits/matched-2026-06.json.
Methodology
Stream each committed gold-tier state shard, exclude hidden records, count verified public pro records by state, then divide by the sum of committed Census/ACS place populations in data/seed/all-cities.json for that state. Population is an indexed-place denominator, not a full resident denominator.

Limitations
- Indexed-place population omits rural unincorporated residents.
- ProFix verified public-record coverage is not a full market census.
- States with aggressive public-record availability can rank higher than equally active states with thinner public records.
