There are a few things you should know about Milton self storage before you begin your search. The pricing and availability of storage units in Milton will depend on several factors such as the real estate climate, the number of people moving into or throughout the area, housing conditions in the city, and the general wealth and prosperity of the area. Using US Census data, we've pieced together a better picture of those factors as they relate to self storage in Milton.
Many people use storage as part of their move, so if there are many people moving to Milton, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. Population changes over time are one way of gauging the amount of moving activity in Milton. The Milton metro area grew from 2,582 persons in 2010 to 2,759 persons in 2014 according to the US Census, an increase of 6.86%.
Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Milton housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Milton, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. Low rates of vacancy in Milton housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Milton may then also be in short supply, which means Milton storage unit prices may be higher. Milton is estimated to have a 82.2% housing occupancy rate, while the vacancy rate is at 17.8%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is 89%, so it's likely the case that storage facilities in Milton also have higher than average occupancy rates. High occupancy rates in Milton will make it more difficult to find a good deal on a storage unit.
