How Austin is structured
Carrier appointments measure an agency’s scale and reach. A market with a long tail of single-carrier agencies is fragmented — the structural signature of one that hasn’t consolidated yet.
Austin is effectively greenfield — 99.9% of agencies remain independent, and 7% of appointed agencies carry just one carrier. The fragmentation runway is wide and largely unconsolidated.
