What the data says about building here

Lakewood is Jefferson County's largest city and an older inner-ring suburb: the median home was built in 1977, and repair-and-remodel demand runs deep in housing that age. That is the work a contractor site here should lead with.

It is also an operator's town — 10.8% of the workforce is self-employed, above the metro average — with 58.1% owner-occupancy and an $89,792 median household income. A mix of settled homeowners and small trades running their own trucks.

Lakewood's market sits inside Jefferson County's 17,999 establishments and $13.0B in annual payroll (CBP 2023), which includes 2,099 construction firms — the most construction establishments of any county in the metro.
