Is Eugene, OR good for door-to-door sales?
Eugene, OR scores 68.4 out of 100 on the Door-to-Door Market Index — rank #178 of 250 US market areas, measured on public Census affordability and finishing-trade data.
What the numbers say
At $350,647, the market's median home value is above the full-credit modest-home band but still well inside the range where affordability contributes meaningfully to the score.
Density of residential finishing-trade contractors is moderate — 70 establishments, or 0.98 per 10,000 residents. There is established home-improvement activity here, but the market is not saturated.
That puts Eugene, OR in the lower half of the published index (#178 of 250). The model is not arguing against it, but there are markets it rates more highly on affordability and saturation.
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 Eugene 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.
