Hanover Garage Door Pros works out of Hanover and drives out to the towns around it - we don't keep a second shop in any of them, we just load the truck and go. The area runs from Parkville, 2 miles out, to Gardners, 18 miles out, with 28 other named communities in between: McSherrystown, Berwick, Oxford, New Oxford, Mount Pleasant, Paradise, Littlestown, Manheim, Jefferson, Spring Grove, East Berlin, Mount Joy, Seven Valleys, Lake Meade, Tyrone, Gettysburg, Glen Rock, Dover, Shiloh, York Springs, Railroad, New Freedom, Grantley, Biglerville, Shrewsbury, Freedom, Spry, and Valley View.
We don't have population figures for each of these towns, so we're not going to pretend we can rank them by size. What we do know is the housing. Across the service area, homes were built mostly between 1938 and 1994, with a median build year of 1972 - and the 37 named communities we cover are still dominated by 1960s and 1970s construction. That means a lot of original hardware still in service, a lot of doors nobody makes parts for anymore, and a climate band the federal data classifies as cold and severe, which is hard on springs and seals no matter which of these towns you're in. The area has 47,575 households, 24,566 of them owner-occupied houses, with a median income of $79,094.
