What the numbers say about junk removal in Houston
About 2,390,000 people live across Houston's 641 square miles, some 3,731 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
Houston runs a split stock: 43% detached houses, 44% in buildings of five units or more, out of 1,023,112 homes in total. Which side of that split you are on is the single biggest thing a quote depends on.
With 58% of Houston homes rented, the city sits close to an even split between move-out clear-outs and owner cleanouts. Both are common enough that local pros quote either without blinking. The median Houston home dates to 1981, which usually means a building with a service lift and a loading area — but also one with rules about which hours you may use them.
Houston sits within reach of Austin (146 miles), Corpus Christi (177 miles) and San Antonio (190 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.
