Rating table uses cities with at least 20 verified businesses in the report sample, to avoid ranking tiny samples above established markets.
Rankings use the same verified dataset as the HouseJester industry report: businesses with enriched public ratings and reviews, grouped by registered city. Counts reflect supply depth; ratings reflect the average public score for verified businesses in that city. Company registry data is used under the Open Government Licence. Last updated 17 July 2026.
