What drives fire damage restoration demand in Scranton: the local numbers
Census and NOAA data for Scranton city show which local conditions matter most for fire damage restoration: share of homes built before 1980, annual precipitation, and single-family detached share. Below is each factor with Scranton's figure and where it ranks; see the fire damage restoration industry page, the Scranton market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
88% of homes predate 1980, and older buildings are more prone to the failures that lead to fire damage restoration. That is among the highest of the markets we cover (96th 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 Scranton sits close to the state pattern. For a fire damage restoration operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Scranton's annual precipitation is 39 inches, a smaller driver of fire damage restoration demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (45th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 41 inches. Across the 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is 44 inches, so Scranton sits below the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for fire damage restoration in Scranton.
Scranton's single-family detached share is 49%, a smaller driver of fire damage restoration demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (38th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 9 other Pennsylvania markets we cover the average is 26%, so Scranton sits above the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Scranton's population is 76,033, a smaller driver of fire damage restoration demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (24th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 125,205.
