What drives chimney sweep demand in Schenectady: the local numbers

Below is each factor with Schenectady's figure and where it ranks; see the chimney sweep industry page, the Schenectady market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
85% of homes predate 1980, so aging exteriors keep chimney sweep in demand. That is among the highest of the markets we cover (94th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%. Across the 34 other New York markets we cover the average is 82%, so Schenectady sits close to the state pattern. For a chimney sweep operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Schenectady's owner-occupied share is 46%, a smaller driver of chimney sweep demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (23rd percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 54%. Across the 34 other New York markets we cover the average is 55%, so Schenectady sits below the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Schenectady's single-family detached share is 39%, a smaller driver of chimney sweep demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (22nd percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%.

Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.

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