Each row is one ZIP code. Click a ZIP to see the demand within 30 miles of it. The town is the closest place in the Census list to the center of the ZIP code, so treat it as a rough guide.
A recoat business usually serves a city and the area around it, which takes in many ZIP codes. That is why the area around your town matters more than any one number on this page.
How we got these numbers
- Homes: owner-occupied homes from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2024 (5-year estimates), added up for every ZIP code in Arizona. 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
These are estimates of the market, not a forecast of what any one business will sell. Leads aren't sold jobs, and a number for a whole state says little about your own town.
