Why Chattanooga?
The Hamilton County / Southeast Tennessee DMA is county-defined and still has dealer slots to fill. Here is what the numbers actually say about this market.
Where the work is
Hamilton County holds 376,192 people across 154,181 occupied households, 63.9% of them owner-occupied, with a median home value of $312,800 and a median household income of $76,183. The Chattanooga, TN-GA metro spans 6 counties and 575,812 people.
The densest mid-century replacement market in the program
47.8% of Hamilton County owner-occupied homes were built before 1980, and 35.5% of owner-occupied Hamilton homes went up in the three decades from 1950 to 1979 — a continuous post-war build wave. That makes this a replacement market rather than a new-build one — these homeowners have already lived with a clogged gutter.
What the weather does here
55.00 inches of precipitation a year at Chattanooga Lovell Field (CHA), with 56.2 days a year at or below 32°F, 3.6 inches of snow and 3,029 heating degree days. The local leaf load is oak-hickory is Tennessee's most common forest type, with pine and dry-site oak mixing on the ridges and mesic hardwoods filling the slopes and valleys.
Territories available
We still have Authorized Dealer slots to fill in the Hamilton County / Southeast Tennessee DMA. It is a semi-exclusive protected territory with a fair market value of $50,000–$100,000, provided at no cost — open because dealer slots remain, not because there is no competition.
The heaviest rain, the mildest winter
Chattanooga Lovell Field records 55.00 inches of precipitation a year — the wettest of the five DMAs — against just 56.2 freeze nights and 3.6 inches of snow, both the lowest in the set. Oversized-volume overflow is the problem here, not ice. That pairs with 47.8% of owner-occupied housing built before 1980 and the densest 1950–1979 band anywhere in the programme at 35.5%.

Where a Chattanooga dealer actually works
This is the only two-state DMA in the set. The metro runs six counties — Hamilton (Chattanooga, East Ridge, Red Bank, Soddy-Daisy, Collegedale, Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Ooltewah), Marion (Jasper) and Sequatchie (Dunlap) in Tennessee, plus Catoosa (Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold), Walker (LaFayette, Chickamauga, Rossville) and Dade (Trenton) in Georgia. A dealer here can hold one product line across a state line, which almost no competitor does.
