By national ratios Detroit supports about 80 full-time appliance repair technician pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. That is larger than most United States cities we cover. Ownership is split — 50 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
