50% of the city's homes are detached houses (state: 67%). In-home beauty services are popular in such areas, and they are not automatically covered by a policy written for a salon address.

12% of employed College Station residents work from home, a lower share than Texas's 14%. That shifts demand toward weekday mornings and away from the evening crunch.

70% of College Station commuters drive alone, and 5% travel 45 minutes or more. Long commutes push appointments to early mornings and weekends, the hours when salons are most crowded.
