Where Closets By Design wins
The geographic distribution reveals a focus on markets with high homeownership rates and strong real estate activity. Strongest performance is seen in states with substantial home renovation spending and higher median household incomes. Key success factors include proximity to affluent suburban communities, new housing developments, and areas with active real estate markets.
Ideal locations typically feature: median household incomes above $75,000, high concentration of single-family homes, active housing markets, and proximity to design districts or home improvement retail clusters.
