Is Davenport, IA good for door-to-door sales?
Davenport, IA scores 83.5 out of 100 on the Door-to-Door Market Index — rank #99 of 250 US market areas, measured on public Census affordability and finishing-trade data.
What the numbers say
At $159,567, the market's median home value sits squarely in the modest-home band where the index gives full affordability credit — the range where door-to-door home-services offers convert to appointments best in the underlying lead data.
Density of residential finishing-trade contractors is moderate — 45 establishments, or 0.82 per 10,000 residents. There is established home-improvement activity here, but the market is not saturated.
That puts Davenport, IA in the upper half of the published index (#99 of 250) — a workable market on the measured signals, but not one the model singles out.
Data: US Census ACS 2022 5-year (median home value, population) and CBP 2022 (Finish Carpentry Contractors, NAICS 238350), aggregated over counties within ~25 miles of the Davenport center — so the population figure is the whole area, not the city proper. NAICS 238350 covers interior finishing work and does not include roofing (238160), siding (238170), solar (238220), pest control (561710); read it as home-improvement activity in the market, not as a competitor count. The index measures market conditions for door-to-door home-services offers — it does not capture seasonality, licensing, or your offer’s specific fit.
