Why Dayton Is a Strong Market for Cleaning Businesses
Dayton is the #6 largest city in Ohio with a population of 137,000+. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base drives constant household turnover with military relocations, creating a built-in pipeline of move-in/move-out cleaning jobs unique to the Dayton market. The local economy, anchored by employers like Premier Health, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, CareSource, creates sustained demand for both residential and commercial cleaning services.
The median household income in Dayton is $32,500, and the median home value sits at $85,000. Neighborhoods like Oregon District / St. Anne's Hill, Oakwood, Belmont represent the core of the residential cleaning market, with homeowners who value recurring service and reliability.
Dayton's four-season Ohio climate brings humid summers, snowy winters, and strong spring pollen seasons — creating consistent year-round demand for interior cleaning and allergen management.
