Canton's 2020 census population was 70,872.

Canton vs the Ohio Average

A typical asphalt-shingle replacement in Canton therefore runs about right at the state median.

Cost indexes barely move across this corridor, so the ranges above track each other — what separates these markets is supply and storm exposure. Akron, the closest at about 21 miles, lists 29 contractors against Canton's 27, and its county logged 35 hail events to Canton's 24 over the same decade. A quote that ignores those local factors deserves a follow-up question.

Hail History in Canton — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
NOAA Storm Events data shows 24 hail events in Canton's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 1.75″ (most recent on record: 2024-10-06). That frequency — better than one damaging storm a year — is what drives Canton's replacement market. Hail of 1″+ bruises asphalt in ways adjusters recognize, so a replacement bid here should quote Class 4 impact-rated shingles as a line item: 10–20% more upfront, frequently paid back through the premium discount insurers offer in hail counties.
