The customers behind the numbers in Franklin
Adults between 20 and 34 make up 33.4% of the population. Young adults compare a few options on a phone and pick fast; a slow or vague website loses them. Most newcomers here came from the West: 66.6% of residents were born in another state. Newcomers find plumbers, dentists and restaurants by searching, not by asking a neighbor.
Children under 5 are 10.2% of the population, a sign of many young families. Parents of small children plan around naps and pickups; hours and prices on the first screen save them a call.
Homeownership is high in Franklin: 80.8% of households own, against 72.1% in Idaho. That is a large market for home services that can be found online.
