How Durham is built — and why it changes the price
About 302,000 people live across Durham's 117 square miles, some 2,586 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
Detached houses make up 51% of homes in Durham and larger buildings 31%. That balance usually means straightforward access, with enough apartment stock that a hauler here still owns a set of moving straps.
At 52% owner-occupied, Durham generates more cleanouts than move-outs — and cleanouts are the jobs where a photo saves the most back-and-forth, because volume is hard to describe in words. The median Durham home was built in 1994, so most properties have the driveway width and door clearances that make a two-person carry straightforward.
Durham sits within reach of Raleigh (18 miles), Greensboro (52 miles) and Charlotte (121 miles), all of which we cover too. Worth knowing when you post: the radius a pro works, not the city boundary, is what decides who sees your job.
