What the data says about Houston

Houston has grown 3.9% since 2020 — faster than most places its size. New residents mean new apartments, and new apartments mean demand for convenient 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are the core laundromat audience: many buildings have no in-unit washer, and shared basement laundry rooms are often outdated.
