How Memphis is built — and why it changes the price
About 611,000 people live across Memphis's 296 square miles, some 2,063 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
60% of the 292,290 housing units in Memphis are detached houses, with 25% in buildings of five or more. Most loads start at a driveway or a garage; the rest need a plan for the stairs.
Renters hold 54% of occupied homes in Memphis 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 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 Huntsville (189 miles), Nashville (193 miles) and Birmingham (211 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.
