Is Gulfport, MS good for door-to-door sales?
Gulfport, MS scores 95.7 out of 100 on the Door-to-Door Market Index — rank #3 of 250 US market areas, measured on public Census affordability and finishing-trade data.
What the numbers say
At $176,928, 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 low — 11 establishments works out to 0.21 per 10,000 residents, which reads as fresher doors and less home-improvement selling already working the same porches.
That puts Gulfport, MS in the top tenth of the published index (#3 of 250) — one of the markets the model rates strongest on the two signals it can actually measure.
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 Gulfport 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.
