Finding Self Storage in Charles Town, WV: Everything You Need To Know

Just starting your Charles Town self storage search? There are a few things you should know. If you're wondering how much you should expect to pay for self storage in Charles Town, 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. The US Census keeps accurate data relating to all of these factors, so we've used their data on Charles Town to help inform your Charles Town self storage search.

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 Charles Town, prices could be higher and availability lower. By looking at population changes in Charles Town, 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 Charles Town metro area's population grew from 5,288 in 2010 to 5,706 in 2014, a growth rate of 7.9%.

Housing occupancy and vacancy rates in Charles Town can help us get a better idea of how much demand there is for living and storage space in Charles Town 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 Charles Town, which may correlate to a lack of storage unit inventory and thus higher rental rates for self storage in the Charles Town area. Charles Town is estimated to have a 88.6% housing occupancy rate, while the vacancy rate is at 11.4%. That's a lower vacancy rate than the average for cities in the United States, and suggests that storage facility vacancy in Charles Town may also be lower. Low vacancy allows storage facilities to charge higher rent, so a cheap storage unit could be trickier to find in Charles Town than in other cities.
