The roof stock
Ellicott City's median home went up in 1990. Architectural shingles from the original builds and the first replacement wave are aging out together — whole subdivisions hit the window at once, which is exactly what proximity mail is built for.
The street math
Ellicott City is spread out — about 1,041 homes per square mile. Around a typical Ellicott City job site, the 100 nearest homes sit within about 680 feet — we measured it against our address map, not a ZIP-code guess. When homes sit this far apart, yard signs don't carry; a card in the mailbox is how the neighborhood finds out who did the work.
The customer
The median Ellicott City home is worth $680,300, up a steady 4.2% across the last two ACS five-year estimates — owners here are invested, not flipping. 83.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so the person reading the card is the person who signs the contract.

Close. We sampled real Ellicott City addresses against our map: the 100 nearest homes around a typical job site sit within about 680 feet (208 meters). That's the same street and the next one over — not a ZIP-code blast across town. That distance is the campaign's proximity radius — the working unit of proximity mail marketing.
