What the data says about Thurston County

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are the core laundromat audience: many buildings have no in-unit washer, and shared basement laundry rooms are often outdated.
