What drives deck building demand in Cedar Rapids: the local numbers

Below is each factor with Cedar Rapids's figure and where it ranks; see the deck building industry page, the Cedar Rapids market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
69% of homes are owner-occupied, and owners are the customers who commission deck building. That is above most of the markets we cover (84th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 54%. Across the 3 other Iowa markets we cover the average is 63%, so Cedar Rapids sits above the state pattern. For a deck building operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
62% of housing is single-family detached, the housing type that generates most deck building work. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (64th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 3 other Iowa markets we cover the average is 65%, so Cedar Rapids sits close to the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for deck building in Cedar Rapids.
59% of homes predate 1980, so aging exteriors keep deck building in demand. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (59th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%. Across the 3 other Iowa markets we cover the average is 73%, so Cedar Rapids sits below the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for deck building in Cedar Rapids.
