What drives junk removal demand in Kalamazoo: the local numbers

58% of occupied homes are rented, and move-outs regularly leave furniture and debris behind. That is above most of the markets we cover (85th 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 Kalamazoo sits above the state pattern. For a junk removal operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.
76% of homes predate 1980, and older homes hold more accumulated contents when they change hands. That is above most of the markets we cover (78th percentile of 401 markets).
