What drives chimney sweep demand in Dearborn: the local numbers

Below is each factor with Dearborn's figure and where it ranks; see the chimney sweep industry page, the Dearborn market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.

For a chimney sweep operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
74% of housing is single-family detached, the housing type that generates most chimney sweep work. That is above most of the markets we cover (89th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 62%, so Dearborn sits above the state pattern.

chimney sweep seasonality in Dearborn: a month-by-month calendar
