What drives home inspection demand in Ann Arbor: the local numbers
Census and NOAA data for Ann Arbor city show which local conditions matter most for home inspection: renter-occupied share, share of homes built before 1980, and population. Below is each factor with Ann Arbor's figure and where it ranks; see the home inspection industry page, the Ann Arbor market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
55% of occupied homes are rented, which brings property-manager home inspection contracts. That is above most of the markets we cover (78th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 46%. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 41%, so Ann Arbor sits above the state pattern. For a home inspection operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
63% of homes predate 1980, and older houses generate steady home inspection work. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (63rd percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 55%. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 80%, so Ann Arbor sits below the state pattern. That makes it a supportive but not decisive factor for home inspection in Ann Arbor.
Ann Arbor's population is 122,036, a smaller driver of home inspection demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is near the middle of the markets we cover (48th percentile of 401 markets).

Ann Arbor's owner-occupied share is 46%, a smaller driver of home inspection 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 54%.

Across the whole year, Ann Arbor's average high peaks at 84°F in July and its average low bottoms out at 15°F in January; precipitation is highest in June (3.6 inches) and lowest in February (1.5 inches).
