Fairfax: the numbers behind the market

Seasons in Fairfax, and what they do to your website

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Auburn, is 19 miles from Fairfax. It records an average high of 87°F in July and an average low of 14°F in January. Rain adds up to about 32 inches a year, falling on about 57 days with a tenth of an inch or more. Expect about 30 inches of snow in a typical year. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 39 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 135 days. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. Plan the website around your busy season: a short email with the new text is all it takes.

What Fairfax customers look for before they call

Half the homes in Fairfax were built before 1958. The older housing in Fairfax keeps roofers, plumbers and remodelers busy. 14.7% of workers are employed by private nonprofits. Nonprofits buy services too: printing, catering, cleaning, IT and event space.

Veterans make up 12.4% of the civilian adult population. Veteran-owned businesses often say so on the About page, and customers notice.

23.1% of residents are 65 or older. A website for this audience should be easy to read on a tablet, with large buttons and a clear way to get in touch.
