The local market
County Business Patterns counts 72 other building equipment contractors across the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL Metro Area, 0.7 for every ten thousand households. That is roughly one for every 14,199 households. The Census counts locations rather than companies, so a one-truck operator and a national chain's branch each count once. That code is wider than one trade, so read it as an upper bound.
Home prices
The Federal Housing Finance Agency's house price index for Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL is up 0.9% over the latest year (through 2025). Over five years it is up 57.4%, and over ten it is up 126.2%. The index follows repeat sales of the same houses, so it measures how prices moved, not what any one home sells for this month.

The American Community Survey is a sample, so every housing figure carries a margin of error, and it is widest for small areas. Where a source suppresses a cell to protect individual businesses or because the sample is too thin, we leave it blank rather than estimate it.
