What these numbers mean
- Owner-occupied homes: homes lived in by the people who own them. Owners are the ones who pay to fix up their floors, so renters are left out
- Wood floors: our estimate of how many of those homes have wood floors. We use 35%, lower than the share homeowners report
- Due a year: wood floors that reach the point where they need a fresh coat this year, if each one gets a coat every 5 years
- Likely to pay for it: the owners of those floors who pay someone to do it, if only 1 in 10 does
None of these is money. They show how many homes and floors are around Sacramento, not what a business there will sell. Leads aren't sold jobs.

How we got these numbers, and why they are conservative
- Homes: owner-occupied homes from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 (5-year estimates), added up for every ZIP code whose center is within 30 miles of Sacramento's center. Renters are left out
- Wood floors: 35% of those homes. The National Wood Flooring Association found 52% of homeowners say they have wood floors, so we use a lower figure on purpose
- Due each year: we assume a floor gets a fresh coat about every 5 years
- Hiring it out: we assume only 1 in 10 owners whose floor is due pays anyone to do it
Every choice leans low. Homeowners report more wood floors than we count, and we assume only 1 in 10 owners pays anyone at all. The demand tool uses the same math and shows every step.
