Finding Self Storage in Dolton, IL: Everything You Need To Know

There are a few things you should know about Dolton self storage before you begin your search. Dolton 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. In order to give you a better idea of these factors in Dolton, we pulled in data from the US Census.

Many people use storage as part of their move, so if there are many people moving to Dolton, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. By looking at population changes in Dolton, we should be able to get an idea of how many people are moving to or from the city. The US Census tells us that the metro area population of Dolton grew from 23,166 in 2010 to 23,307 in 2014, which is a rate of 0.61% growth over four years.

Housing occupancy and vacancy rates in Dolton can help us get a better idea of how much demand there is for living and storage space in Dolton 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 Dolton, which may correlate to a lack of storage unit inventory and thus higher rental rates for self storage in the Dolton area. According to US Census estimates, 89.8% of housing units in Dolton are occupied, while the vacancy rate is at 10.2%. That's a lower vacancy rate than the average for cities in the United States, and suggests that storage facility vacancy in Dolton may also be lower. Low vacancy allows storage facilities to charge higher rent, so a cheap storage unit could be trickier to find in Dolton than in other cities.
