The Missoula paving market
University town; residential demand. Missoula has a GeoNames population of about 71,000 and sits in Missoula County. No city of 500,000+ people lies within 300 miles of Missoula, so it functions as its own market center. It is the 2nd-largest of the 6 Montana cities in our directory.
Missoula's paving season typically runs May–October (about 6 months). Campaigns should be live by March, 6 to 8 weeks before the May start, and Nov–Apr is for retargeting, early-bird sealcoating inquiries and lower-budget awareness. 5 other Montana cities share this season.
Cold-winter climate: Freeze-thaw cycles create a post-winter rush of pothole, crack and surface-failure repair calls, and sealcoating can only start once overnight lows stay above 50 degrees.
