Finding Self Storage in Waukegan, IL: Top Tips

Before beginning your self storage search in Waukegan, there are a few things you should know. The pricing and availability of storage units in Waukegan 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. We used US Census data on Waukegan to give you a better idea of these factors.

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 Waukegan, prices could be higher and availability lower. A city with a high amount of moving activity should see substantial changes in population, so by looking at population data for Waukegan we can get a better idea of the amount of moving activity. The US Census tells us that the metro area population of Waukegan declined from 89,155 in 2010 to 88,915 in 2014, a loss of -0.27%.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Waukegan housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Waukegan, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. Low rates of vacancy in Waukegan housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Waukegan may then also be in short supply, which means Waukegan storage unit prices may be higher. 8.7% of housing units in Waukegan are vacant according to the US Census, while 91.3% are occupied. That's a higher rate than average for US cities, suggesting storage unit occupancy in Waukegan may also be higher. That might make it harder to find cheap storage in Waukegan.
