Ask Ava anything about the information on this page.
The Oklahoma City metro has 1,305 larger buildings in cleaning-buying categories, led by ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (347), and 313 janitorial services establishments working them. It over-indexes on commercial property management firms, which should anchor a target list. Start in Oklahoma County and Cleveland County, where 90% of them sit.
These are the 10 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for cleaning work, with how many of each are in the Oklahoma City metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Oklahoma City leans toward commercial property management firms (2.10x), bank and credit union branches and offices (1.39x) and ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (1.37x). Build the list around those categories. Hospital campuses and senior living and skilled nursing 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. Change and concentration: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, private ownership, 2026 Q1.
Buildings per contractor: Oklahoma City and nearby markets
313 janitorial services establishments are based in the Oklahoma City metro. That is 4 fewer than a year ago. When a contractor closes or sells, its customers go looking for a new one. The trade is at about the national concentration. 4.2 larger cleaning-buying buildings per contractor puts Oklahoma City 39 of 100 markets, and 2 of 2 in Oklahoma. That sits mid-pack: real room to grow, but the best accounts are contested. If you can serve Tulsa and Wichita, they have more larger buildings per contractor than Oklahoma City.
