Below is each factor with Gastonia's figure and where it ranks; see the chimney sweep industry page, the Gastonia market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
68% of housing is single-family detached, the housing type that generates most chimney sweep work. That is above most of the markets we cover (80th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 34 other North Carolina markets we cover the average is 58%, so Gastonia sits above the state pattern. For a chimney sweep operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Gastonia's owner-occupied share is 54%, a smaller driver of chimney sweep demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (50th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 54%. Across the 34 other North Carolina markets we cover the average is 54%, so Gastonia sits close to the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for chimney sweep in Gastonia.
Gastonia's share of homes built before 1980 is 52%, a smaller driver of chimney sweep demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (47th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%.
