Below is each factor with Harrisburg's figure and where it ranks; see the deck building industry page, the Harrisburg 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 deck building 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 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is 85%, so Harrisburg sits close to the state pattern. For a deck building operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Harrisburg's owner-occupied share is 37%, a smaller driver of deck building demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (8th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 54%.

That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (5th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at $369,200. Across the 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is $183,300, so Harrisburg sits below the state pattern.
