Finding Self Storage in Alvin, TX: Top Tips

Just starting your Alvin self storage search? There are a few things you should know. Alvin storage unit prices and availability are closely related to things like real estate prices, the type of housing available in the area, the city's wealth, and whether or not many people are moving to the area. We used US Census data on Alvin 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 Alvin, prices could be higher and availability lower. By looking at population changes in Alvin, we should be able to get an idea of how many people are moving to or from the city. The Alvin metro area grew from 24,298 persons in 2010 to 25,525 persons in 2014 according to the US Census, an increase of 5.05%.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Alvin housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Alvin, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. Low rates of vacancy in Alvin housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Alvin may then also be in short supply, which means Alvin storage unit prices may be higher. The US Census estimates that housing vacancy rates in Alvin are at 9.4%, while the occupancy rate is at 90.6%. That's a higher rate than average for US cities, suggesting storage unit occupancy in Alvin may also be higher. That might make it harder to find cheap storage in Alvin.
