What the data says about District of Columbia
District of Columbia's population has held steady since 2020. In stable markets the opportunity is in dense neighbourhoods where many households still lack in-unit laundry.
Across US cities, apartment residents are the core laundromat audience: many buildings have no in-unit washer, and shared basement laundry rooms are often outdated.
First read: a multi-unit territory
With 702,250 residents, District of Columbia is large enough for several stores. A typical plan starts with one street store in a dense area and adds residential buildings across the county. The final decision comes from a territory study done with you before signing.
