Norfolk, measured: what it means for a haul
Norfolk has about 231,000 residents spread over 53 square miles, roughly 4,338 per square mile. It is busy enough to keep a truck working a full route and open enough that most homes still have somewhere to pull in.
49% of the 102,542 housing units in Norfolk are detached houses, with 29% 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 Norfolk 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 1964 — mid-century stock, usually with an attached garage, which is where the load tends to be.
The nearest places we also cover are Virginia Beach (16 miles), Richmond (80 miles) and Richmond (80 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.
