DetailsWhy Hoboken scores 96
We filter every market the same way: how many families are within reach, how many general-aviation airfields sit inside a reasonable drive, and how dense the school network is. Hoboken carries a metro reach of roughly 20.1 million, about 8 GA airfields within ~40 miles, and close to 280 K–12 schools within ~15 miles.
That is a strong signal — the kind of market we would open next given the right local operator.
