The Carlin clientele
Carlin's median home was built in 1979. Older retail buildings may need electrical upgrades for dryer banks and hot tools, and upgrades you pay for are your property to insure.
Carlin: 1% in apartment buildings; 32% renting.
About 53% of Carlin's homes are single-family (Nevada: 66%). Family neighborhoods drive prom, wedding, and back-to-school rushes, the busiest and highest-pressure weeks on a salon's calendar.
3% of employed Carlin residents work from home, a lower share than Nevada's 12%. That shifts demand toward weekday mornings and away from the evening crunch.
71% of Carlin commuters drive alone, and 7% travel 45 minutes or more. Long commutes push appointments to early mornings and weekends, the hours when salons are most crowded.
