Email20 Top Counties for Remodeling Spending in the U.S.
Los Angeles County tops the national list for remodeling spending
Midwest
Even with its struggling economy, Chicago's Cook County tops the list, with the second-largest remodeling market in the country, and suburban DuPage County also makes it on the list at No. 5. Hennepin County - home to Minneapolis - has seen a nice recovery in unemployment rates as of late, and should see increased remodeling spending as home prices recover. The biggest surprise may be that the Detroit area, despite years of economic pressures, still represents a significant remodeling market.
1. Cook County, Illinois - $4.1 billion
2. Hennepin County, Minnesota - $1 billion
3. Wayne County, Michigan - $1 billion
4. Oakland County, Michigan - $946 million
5. DuPage County, Illinois - $881 million
