sits provably completed in Longmont in the last 12 months
Only 77 Longmont listings have resolved inside our measurement window so far — below the 100 we require before publishing a fill rate, where a proportion still carries a wide interval. Rather than print a number that would mostly be noise, this slot stays empty until the sample is real. What we can already say: at least 327 sits have provably completed in Longmont since 2019, 116 of them in the last 12 months — each one required a chosen sitter, so this market does fill, at a pace our 48-hour instrument hasn't yet measured. The supply and chaining figures below are counts, not estimates, and carry no such floor.

Percentile rank among the 26 tracked cities with meaningful supply. Competition reads sitter-side: a higher percentile means more applicants per open listing — harder for sitters, busier for owners.
Do house sits actually get filled in Longmont?
Yes — at least 327 sits have provably completed in Longmont since 2019, 116 of them ending in the last 12 months. A completion requires a chosen sitter, so every one had at least one real application. These are floors from listing histories, and they cannot be turned into a fill rate: sits that went unfilled leave no trace, so there is no denominator.
