Where the Florida agency roll-up runway is widest
28,486 independent P&C agencies across 34 Florida counties of scale. The largest markets are also the most fragmented — so the widest consolidation runway sits exactly where the volume is. Every market ranked below, from public records.
Fragmentation is measured by agents per agency — a market of one-agent shops has the longest tail of sub-scale, acquirable operators. Florida’s four biggest markets — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Orange — each run near one agent per agency, the widest runway in the state. Mid-size markets like Hillsborough and Duval run larger agencies — already partway through consolidation.
