Cleveland, measured: what it means for a haul
Cleveland has about 365,000 residents spread over 78 square miles, roughly 4,700 per square mile. It is busy enough to keep a truck working a full route and open enough that most homes still have somewhere to pull in.
Roughly 47% of Cleveland homes stand detached, with 25% in buildings of five units or more. The majority of pickups start at ground level, which keeps the range on this page toward the lower end.
Renters hold 59% of occupied homes in Cleveland and owners the rest, which splits the work in two: fast move-out hauls on one side, and the slower kind on the other — a garage that filled up over fifteen years. The median Cleveland home was built around 1940, and houses of that age come with basements, attics and narrow staircases that a modern floor plan simply does not have.
Measured from the city centre, our closest other coverage is Detroit (96 miles), Pittsburgh (114 miles) and Columbus (124 miles). Pros work across those lines all day, so the bids on a Cleveland job often come from trucks that started the morning somewhere else entirely.
