What It Means
What these numbers mean for a Wilmington rental company
Wilmington sits inside the Philadelphia metro, 25 mi from its core. Renters here see ads and search results from metro-wide competitors, so a local operator does best by owning Wilmington-specific searches and the short delivery runs around it.
There are 8 listed markets within 50 miles but only 3 inside 25, so a Wilmington operator typically covers a mid-size radius: Newark (12 mi W), Middletown (22 mi SW) and Philadelphia, PA (25 mi NE).
5 of the markets within 50 miles are across the state line (Philadelphia, PA, Camden, NJ and Cherry Hill, NJ). Include them only if your permits and trucks cover those markets.
