Who walks into a Pasco barbershop
Pasco has 25,678.0 homes, 29% of them rented. Dense, renter-heavy neighborhoods feed walk-in traffic, while suburbs lean toward regulars on a two- or three-week cycle.
Single-family houses are 78% of Pasco's housing (Washington: 66%). Family neighborhoods bring kids' cuts and weekend rushes, so a clear floor and a safe waiting area matter.
About 8% of employed Pasco residents work from home, less than the 20% state share. That changes when the shop is busiest, not whether people need a cut.
5% of Pasco households do not have a car. With 77% driving solo to work, shops near transit stops and walkable blocks get customers who would not drive across town for a cut.
