Lead the Fargo Cleaning Market with MaidProfit
From downtown Fargo to South Fargo, the Osgood area to Fargo’s thriving startup scene — MaidProfit helps Fargo cleaning companies automate operations and dominate North Dakota’s growth engine.
Why Fargo Is North Dakota’s Premier Cleaning Market
Fargo is North Dakota’s largest city and the state’s economic growth engine. With a metro population approaching 270,000 (including Moorhead, MN), Fargo accounts for roughly a third of the state’s total population and an outsized share of its economic activity. The city’s thriving startup ecosystem, anchored by NDSU and a growing tech sector, creates a young, professional demographic ideal for cleaning services.
Fargo’s unemployment rate consistently hovers below 3%, meaning nearly every household has income. The city’s median household income of $68,200 is well above the national average. Dual-income families with demanding careers are the backbone of recurring cleaning demand.
The Fargo-Moorhead metro’s rapid growth — driven by Microsoft, Sanford Health, and hundreds of startups — means new housing developments are constantly expanding the potential client pool. South Fargo’s newer subdivisions and the Osgood area are particularly strong for residential cleaning.
Full Employment = Maximum Demand
Fargo’s ultra-low unemployment means virtually every household has income, and busy working families increasingly turn to professional cleaners. The tight labor market also means well-run businesses face less competition from fly-by-night operators.
Everything you need to scale

What Fargo Cleaners Charge
Fargo rates lead North Dakota, reflecting the city’s strong economy and higher incomes.
| Service | Price Range | Average |

South Fargo’s newer developments and the Osgood neighborhood command the highest residential rates. Downtown Fargo condos attract young professionals. West Fargo and Moorhead extend the addressable market at moderate pricing.

North Dakota Sales Tax
ND has a 5% state sales tax plus local additions. Cleaning services are subject to sales tax. Fargo’s combined rate is approximately 7.5%.
