What the data says about Wayne County

Wayne County's population has dipped 1.3% 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are the core laundromat audience: many buildings have no in-unit washer, and shared basement laundry rooms are often outdated.
