Below is each factor with Sterling Heights's figure and where it ranks; see the irrigation industry page, the Sterling Heights market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
67% of housing is single-family detached, and those yards are what sprinkler systems serve. That is above most of the markets we cover (76th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 63%, so Sterling Heights sits above the state pattern. For an irrigation operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
Only about 30 inches of precipitation a year leaves little natural water for landscapes. That is below most of the markets we cover (28th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 41 inches. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 33 inches, so Sterling Heights sits below the state pattern.

Sterling Heights's cooling degree days is 854, a smaller driver of irrigation demand than in many of the markets we cover. That is below most of the markets we cover (27th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 1,420. Across the 8 other Michigan markets we cover the average is 717, so Sterling Heights sits above the state pattern. Operators here usually lean on other drivers instead, which is why the factors above matter more.
Market size also matters. Sterling Heights city has about 133,573 residents, near the middle of the markets we cover. Larger markets support more crews, more specialization and denser routes for irrigation; smaller ones reward the operator who becomes the recognized local name.
