How Richmond is built — and why it changes the price
About 234,000 people live across Richmond's 60 square miles, some 3,899 per square mile. Yards, garages and driveways do most of the work here.
45% of the 112,848 housing units in Richmond are detached houses, with 35% 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 57% of occupied homes in Richmond 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 1959 — mid-century stock, usually with an attached garage, which is where the load tends to be.
Richmond sits within reach of Richmond, Norfolk (80 miles) and Alexandria (92 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.
