Spray Foam Genius Marketing helps spray foam and insulation contractors in Peoria, Illinois win more jobs from homeowners and builders searching in that market. This Peoria page stays tied to the sourced lines: population, zone, degree days, and housing where a survey published them. The climate zone on this page is 5A. The population line reads 110,920. Comparisons to a national figure appear only when that figure is already in the note.
The pre-1980 housing line for Peoria reads 67%. That share is higher than the national figure of 48% in the same note. Source on this page: U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, table B25034, as of 2024. Write about air sealing and attic work for those houses only in the terms you can actually explain. The statistic does not say which neighborhoods hold the older homes.
Nothing here is a ranking promise. It is a way to order the Peoria message. Heating is the larger degree-day number, so cold-weather comfort is the first story for Peoria. Check it against the grid. A message can be right for the climate and still be invisible three miles from the shop.
Peoria is in Illinois, and the climate zone on this page is 5A. The moisture letter on this zone is humid (5A). The note reads: humid climate, zone 5 of 8. On the IECC scale used on our state pages, the number rises as the climate gets colder, from 1 (hot) to 8 (subarctic). Source on this page: U.S. DOE and PNNL, Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270), as of October 21, 2022. Zone is a reason to lead with the jobs people in this climate ask about, not a rank factor by itself.
When the site talks about old houses versus new ones in Peoria, the sourced median is 1967. That year is earlier than the national median of 1981 printed in the same note. Source on this page: U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, table B25035, as of 2024. Do not turn the median into a claim that most homes were built in that exact year. A median is the midpoint of the survey, and the note says it is a survey estimate when that is what the source published.
Peoria is listed at 110,920 residents. The note on that line says: Estimate for July 1, 2025. The county line reads Peoria County. Population is the width of the map, not a count of insulation buyers. A contractor who works one side of Peoria should not treat the city total as the service area.
Read the two degree-day lines together. Heating is 5,614. Cooling is 1,157. Both figures use base 65 F. Heating (5,614) is larger than cooling (1,157). The heating note says the reading was measured at PEORIA GTR PEORIA AP. Pages and ads can lead with cold rooms, drafts, and heating bills. This comparison uses only those two figures.
Median home value in Peoria is $177,900. That is lower than the national figure of $360,600 in the same note. The note on that line says: Owner-occupied homes. National: $360,600 (survey estimate). A higher or lower value is not a price you should promise for a job. It is a clue about which message to lead with, comfort and performance or straightforward savings, and it stays tied to the survey year.
Peoria shows 59% owner-occupied. That is lower than the national figure of 65% in the same note. Source on this page: U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates, table B25003, as of 2024. The city figure is at least half, so owner-occupiers are the larger group in this survey line. They are usually the people who can commission insulation on a house they live in. Do not read the percentage as a market-share goal. It is a housing tenure figure from the source named on the card.
Start with the audit if you want to see where a Peoria listing stands at more than one point on the map. Book a strategy call when you want a person to go through the options. We do not offer pay-per-lead pricing, and we do not limit the work to one contractor per city.

What this means for your marketing in Peoria
The Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey puts the median home in Peoria at a build year of 1967 (nationally: 1981), and 67% of its homes were built before 1980 (nationally: 48%). That is an older housing stock. Older homes are where attic insulation, air sealing and rim joist work tend to pay off for the owner, so retrofit and energy-bill messaging usually fits better here than a new-construction pitch.
Peoria is in Peoria County, which falls in IECC climate zone 5A. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for PEORIA GTR PEORIA AP (about 7 miles away) show 5,614 heating degree days and 1,157 cooling degree days in a typical year, so heating is the larger load. For a spray foam or insulation contractor, that tends to move what homeowners search for toward cold rooms, drafts, high heating bills and ice dams. The "A" in 5A marks a humid climate, so moisture control and air sealing deserve space in your content.
59% of occupied homes in Peoria are owner-occupied (nationally: 65%), and the median home value is $177,900 (nationally: $360,600). That is close to the national mix of owners and renters. Lower home values tend to go with more price-aware buyers, so clear pricing, financing options and any rebates you can verify help.
Peoria had an estimated 110,920 residents on July 1, 2025 (U.S. Census Bureau). Google Maps rankings change from one part of a market to the next, so being visible near your shop does not mean being visible across the whole service area. The free Market Visibility Audit shows your ranking at a grid of points around your business.
How the Google Maps grid works in a market like Peoria
Google Maps does not show one ranking for a whole city. The result changes block by block, depending on where the searcher is standing. Our audit searches from a grid of points around your business and records where you appear at each one. Green means you are in the top 3 at that spot. Red means customers there are not finding you. Run it for the Peoria service area you want. A good result next to the office can sit beside a miss a few miles away.

How working with us goes
Spray Foam Genius Marketing works with spray foam and insulation contractors. The steps are the same in Peoria as everywhere else. Plans are month to month, and you can end service with 30 days notice.
1. Audit
We look at where your company shows up on Google Maps in the cities you serve. The Market Visibility Audit is free. It shows the current grid. It is not a forecast, and it does not promise a ranking.
2. Plan
If the work is a fit, we write a plan for the website, the Google Business Profile, and the ads for the jobs you take. We do not sell shared leads. We do not promise that only one contractor in Peoria can hire us.
3. Launch
We set up the work in the plan. You buy and own the domain at a registrar you choose, such as Namecheap or GoDaddy. We do not hold the domain, and we do not transfer it. If we build a website, we can move that website to a host you choose after you have been with us at least 90 days and you end service with 30 days notice. Before 90 days the website stays with us.
4. Monthly review
Each month we review what is live: the map listing, the pages, and the ads. We do not bill per lead or per estimate.
