Sizing up the Birmingham market

Weather in Birmingham: plan the website around it

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Philipsburg weather station (16 miles from Birmingham), July highs average 80°F and January lows average 16°F. Precipitation totals about 42 inches a year, with June the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 145 times a year. Winter reshuffles demand: plowing and heating in winter, yard work and construction once it thaws. Seasonal updates help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.

Reaching customers beyond the Birmingham borough limits

Birmingham’s nearest neighbors are Tyrone (3.3 miles), Bellwood (7.9 miles), Alexandria (7.9 miles), Petersburg (9.2 miles) and Williamsburg (13 miles). Mid-State Regional Airport (PSB) is 17 miles north of Birmingham in a straight line. The borough spreads over 0.1 square miles of land, with roughly 1,429 people per square mile. A 25-mile radius around Birmingham takes in 37 other municipalities. Huntingdon County’s county seat is Huntingdon, 14 miles to the southeast. Naming Tyrone, Alexandria and the other places you cover on a service area page tells customers outside Birmingham that you work there too.
