Tips for Finding Self Storage in Alachua, FL

Before beginning your self storage search in Alachua, there are a few things you should know. If you're wondering how much you should expect to pay for self storage in Alachua, consider the fact that storage prices are closely related to factors like the real estate climate, the economic prospects of the city, and population growth. We used US Census data on Alachua to give you a better idea of these factors.

One of the primary uses of self storage is as a safe place to keep your things between moving homes. If many people are moving to or from Alachua, prices could be higher and availability lower. By looking at population changes in Alachua, we should be able to get an idea of how many people are moving to or from the city. According to the US Census, the Alachua metro area's population grew from 9,073 in 2010 to 9,561 in 2014, a growth rate of 5.38%.

Housing occupancy and vacancy rates in Alachua can help us get a better idea of how much demand there is for living and storage space in Alachua and thus the kind of storage prices and availability we should expect to find. High occupancy rates can indicate a lack of housing supply in Alachua, which may correlate to a lack of storage unit inventory and thus higher rental rates for self storage in the Alachua area. The US Census estimates that housing vacancy rates in Alachua are at 10.3%, while the occupancy rate is at 89.7%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is approximately 89%, which is lower than the rate in Alachua, suggesting that storage unit inventory might also be tighter in Alachua. With fewer units available, storage facilities in Alachua may charge higher prices.
