Is Fort Collins, CO good for door-to-door sales?
Fort Collins, CO scores 24.9 out of 100 on the Door-to-Door Market Index — rank #246 of 250 US market areas, measured on public Census affordability and finishing-trade data.
This market area also covers Greeley, CO — those cities fall inside the same 25-mile county footprint, so the Census figures for them are identical and they are ranked here rather than as separate markets.
What the numbers say
At $522,488, the market's median home value is in the tapering range — affordability still contributes to the score here, but the data says doors in this band book appointments at lower rates than modest-home markets.
Density of residential finishing-trade contractors is high — 181 establishments, or 1.78 per 10,000 residents, at or near the saturation ceiling in the index. Expect doors that have been knocked before.
That puts Fort Collins, CO in the bottom quarter of the published index (#246 of 250). On the two signals the model measures, other markets look better — worth reading the numbers below before committing a team here.
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 Fort Collins 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.
