Tips for Finding Self Storage in Batavia, IL

If you're searching for self storage in Batavia, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Batavia 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 Batavia 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 Batavia, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. By looking at population changes in Batavia, we should be able to get an idea of how many people are moving to or from the city. The Batavia metro area grew from 26,182 persons in 2010 to 26,424 persons in 2014 according to the US Census, an increase of 0.92%.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Batavia housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Batavia, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. If there's low vacancy rates in Batavia housing, there's likely low vacancy at Batavia storage facilities. This would allow storage facilities in Batavia to charge higher prices for their units. Batavia is estimated to have a 95.1% housing occupancy rate, while the vacancy rate is at 4.9%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is approximately 89%, which is lower than the rate in Batavia, suggesting that storage unit inventory might also be tighter in Batavia. With fewer units available, storage facilities in Batavia may charge higher prices.
