Louisville, measured: what it means for a haul
About 794,000 people live across Louisville's 263 square miles, some 3,018 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
63% of the 288,047 housing units in Louisville are detached houses, with 21% in buildings of five or more. Most loads start at a driveway or a garage; the rest need a plan for the stairs.
61% of homes here are owner-occupied, which usually means bigger, less urgent loads — the kind that get put off for a season and then go all at once. The median home here dates to 1970 — mid-century stock, usually with an attached garage, which is where the load tends to be.
The nearest places we also cover are Cincinnati (91 miles), Indianapolis (115 miles) and Nashville (151 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.
