Small Business Market Research

Roofing Market Research — Jacksonville, FL

ZIP 32227 sits on Jacksonville's far east side near the Mayport area, and it is a small, distinctive slice of the market: 3,207 residents and just 655 housing units. It is important to read this ZIP honestly. Owner-occupancy is very low at 2.2%, and the Census reports no reliable median home value, both signs that the housing here is dominated by rental and non-owner-occupied units rather than a typical single-family ownership base. That shifts the roofing opportunity toward property-manager, landlord, and maintenance-contract work rather than one-off homeowner replacements. What does support demand is the age of the stock: 82.1% of units were built before 2001, so roofs in this ZIP are largely past their first service life. Median household income in the area is $85,833, a solid figure for the broader east-Jacksonville service radius a roofer based here would cover. On competition, our research found three roofers in local search, but unlike the smaller outlying towns in this study they are well established, averaging 238 Google reviews, so this ZIP is best treated as a foothold into the larger Jacksonville metro rather than a low-competition town of its own.
