Frisco, TX: 12th of 100 for winter heat and burst-pipe searches
Frisco has 23.7 typical December–February searches for furnace, frozen-pipe and emergency plumber help per 1,000 households, 1.9x the median city (12.3). That's 1.84x what its normal winter cold predicts, 10th of 99 cities on this measure.
Ranking check: Not confirmed. Frisco ranks 12th on households inside city limits but 83rd on metro population. Its city limits hold 3% of the metro's people, so the city-limits figure may overstate it. How the check works

About these numbers
Search demand from Google Ads, Oct 2022 to Sep 2026, for 30 heating and plumbing terms. Each month uses the median of that calendar month across four years. "Frisco" is the location as Google Ads defines it; households are city limits. This measures searches, not breakdowns or claims. Full methodology.
