Irving, measured: what it means for a haul
About 258,000 people live across Irving's 67 square miles, some 3,853 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
39% of Irving homes are detached houses and 48% sit in larger buildings — a genuinely mixed stock. Two jobs on the same street can be nothing alike: one a driveway load, the next a third-floor walk-up.
62% of occupied homes in Irving are rented. Rental turnover is the steadiest source of removal work anywhere: the couch that will not fit the next place, the mattress nobody wants to move twice, and whatever was at the back of the closet. The median Irving home dates to 1986, 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.
The nearest places we also cover are Dallas (13 miles), Plano (19 miles) and Frisco (22 miles). That is not trivia: a hauler finishing a job one town over is a short run from your kerb, and being close is the cheapest advantage a pro can have when bidding.
