The Salt Lake City-Murray metro has 1,287 larger buildings in flooring-buying categories, led by apartment and multifamily management companies (360), and 10 nonresidential flooring contractors working them. It over-indexes on colleges and universities, which should anchor a target list. Start in Salt Lake County, where 99% of them sit.
These are the 10 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the Salt Lake City-Murray metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Salt Lake City-Murray leans toward colleges and universities (1.54x), commercial property management firms (1.34x) and apartment and multifamily management companies (1.31x). Build the list around those categories. Senior living and skilled nursing and owner-occupied and owner-managed commercial buildings 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: Salt Lake City and nearby markets
10 nonresidential flooring contractors are based in the Salt Lake City-Murray metro. 1 more opened over the past year, so buyers are fielding new names. The trade is 48% less concentrated than the U.S. as a whole, so a consistent outbound program reaches facility and property teams that are not tired of contractor calls. 128.7 larger flooring-buying buildings per contractor puts Salt Lake City 5 of 68 markets, and 2 of 2 in Utah. That is more room per contractor than most metros, so systematic prospecting tends to find accounts nobody is working. If you can serve Provo, it has more larger buildings per contractor than Salt Lake City.
