Finding Self Storage in Bartow, FL: Everything You Need To Know

There are a few things you should know about Bartow self storage before you begin your search. Storage unit prices and availability in Bartow are determined by many different factors, including real estate, population growth, the wealth of the local population, the current economic climate, and more. We used US Census data on Bartow to give you a better idea of these factors.

Many people use storage as part of their move, so if there are many people moving to Bartow, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. We can get a good idea of whether or not many people are moving to or from Bartow by looking at the change in population. The Bartow metro area grew from 17,322 persons in 2010 to 18,420 persons in 2014 according to the US Census, an increase of 6.34%.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Bartow housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Bartow, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. Low rates of vacancy in Bartow housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Bartow may then also be in short supply, which means Bartow storage unit prices may be higher. The US Census estimates that housing vacancy rates in Bartow are at 12.3%, while the occupancy rate is at 87.7%. That's a lower vacancy rate than the average for cities in the United States, and suggests that storage facility vacancy in Bartow may also be lower. Low vacancy allows storage facilities to charge higher rent, so a cheap storage unit could be trickier to find in Bartow than in other cities.
