What It Means
What these numbers mean for a Waukegan rental company
Waukegan has no 100,000+ city within 30 miles in our directory; the closest listed market is Kenosha, WI (15 mi N). Standalone markets have less spillover from neighboring metros, and the size of the delivery area — not competition — usually caps lead volume.
There are 12 listed markets within 50 miles but only 2 inside 25, so a Waukegan operator typically covers a mid-size radius: Kenosha, WI (15 mi N), Evanston (24 mi S) and Racine, WI (25 mi N).
4 of the markets within 50 miles are across the state line (Kenosha, WI, Racine, WI and Milwaukee, WI). Include them only if your permits and trucks cover those markets.
