What the Numbers Mean for a Coffee Shop

With 59,816 households, that works out to about one coffee shop for every 2,848 households in Gainesville.

Alachua County as a whole has 66 of these establishments, so Gainesville accounts for roughly 32% of the county total and customers may also compare you with businesses in neighboring towns.

The median household income in Gainesville is $46,195. Many households here watch costs, so showing prices or ranges up front builds trust before the first call.

About 37.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so a large share of residents rent and move more often; new arrivals search online to find a provider.

The median age is 26.5. A younger population is used to booking from a phone, so mobile booking is expected.

70.0% of workers commute by car, truck or van, so many people search on the go and need directions and hours right away.
