Name: U.S. Fire & Flood Restoration Market Benchmark
Brand: Property Damage Data
Price: 29 USD
Availability: InStock

A prepared research kit for comparing official fire and flood restoration industry measures with FEMA major-disaster context across the fifty states. The package gives you the definitions, source snapshots and portable files needed to make the first comparison defensible.

01 / The package

Everything needed for the first comparison.

The value is the preparation around public records: a defined scope, a reusable workbook and a trail back to every source snapshot.

13-page benchmark brief with interpretation, sources, use cases and limitations
Excel workbook with overview, state comparison, market signals, industry detail, trends, FEMA context, definitions and sources
BLS QCEW data for NAICS 236118 and 236220, the official fire and flood restoration categories used in this edition

FEMA major-disaster declaration tables for 2021–2025 by state, year and incident type
Normalized CSV exports, data dictionary, methodology, quality report, release notes and buyer quickstart
Source manifest with retrieval dates and SHA-256 checksums

02 / Who it helps

A short path from public file to working brief.

Use the benchmark to decide where deeper local validation is worth the time.

Start with three states, then ask a better local question.

Open the workbook Overview and State market signals tabs, choose three states, record the market-context score, declaration count, establishment count and one validation question for each. The included quickstart is designed for this first 30-minute pass.

Restoration operators comparing territories and staffing context
Insurance vendors and consultants preparing documented market briefs
Researchers and journalists who need stable, source-linked tables
Data teams evaluating a normalized benchmark before commissioning a custom extract

03 / File map

One ZIP, nineteen named files.

Nothing is hidden behind a proprietary viewer. The package can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, Python or another analysis tool.

The definitions stay visible.

The benchmark is designed to be reused without turning a proxy into a promise.

How the edition is built

BLS uses annual QCEW observations for private ownership, the fifty states and the published U.S. aggregate.
The restoration view combines NAICS 236118 and 236220 while keeping the industry-detail rows available for inspection.
FEMA records are filtered to major disaster declarations, non-tribal requests and declaration dates in the edition window.
Designated-area rows are deduplicated by disaster number before the state and national tables are produced.
The market-context score is a descriptive prioritization aid, not a demand forecast.

What it cannot establish

This is not a forecast, market-size estimate, lead list, claims dataset, insurance-loss estimate or investment recommendation.
FEMA declarations are administrative records and do not count all damaged properties, claims or restoration demand.
Employment is jobs, establishments are operating locations, and missing or suppressed BLS values remain missing.
Source-publisher terms and the included license and attribution notes apply when using source-derived material.

05 / Questions before purchase

Know what arrives and what it means.

Read the scope before you use a number in a planning memo, article or client conversation.

Is the underlying data public?

Yes. The value is the preparation: pinned source snapshots, documented filters, normalized files, a workbook, a brief, quality checks and a reproducible source manifest.

Is this a subscription?

No. This checkout is for the 2021–2025 v1.1 edition as a one-time purchase. Future editions or custom analyses may be offered separately.

Can I use the files in client work?

The package is intended for internal research and planning by the purchasing organization. Keep the source attribution and review the included license before redistributing source-derived files or the original package.

What happens after payment?

Polar provides the file-download benefit attached to the product. Keep the receipt email and use the Polar customer access flow if you need to retrieve the purchase again.

What if the download does not work?

Reply through the seller contact shown in the Polar receipt with the purchase email and edition. We will investigate delivery issues and reissue the same edition when appropriate.
