What It Means
What these numbers mean for a Scranton rental company
Scranton has no 100,000+ city within 30 miles in our directory; the closest listed market is Wilkes-Barre (16 mi SW). Standalone markets have less spillover from neighboring metros, and the size of the delivery area — not competition — usually caps lead volume.
Only 2 listed markets lie within 50 miles, so plan for wide-radius or county-level targeting around Lackawanna County rather than a tight city radius.
1 of the markets within 50 miles is across the state line (Binghamton, NY). Include it only if your permits and trucks cover that market.
