What the data says about St. Clair County

St. Clair County's population has dipped 2.5% since 2020. That makes site selection more important: we focus on the densest neighbourhoods and on buildings with strong occupancy.

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are the core laundromat audience: many buildings have no in-unit washer, and shared basement laundry rooms are often outdated.
