Scottsdale, measured: what it means for a haul
184 square miles for 246,000 people works out to about 1,338 per square mile. In a Scottsdale that open, the map does as much to set the price as the load does.
53% of the 138,422 housing units in Scottsdale 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.
Only 32% of Scottsdale homes are rented. Owner-occupied neighbourhoods produce a different job list: garage and attic cleanouts, estate clear-outs, and the twenty-year-old appliance that has finally been replaced. The median Scottsdale home was built in 1990, so most properties have the driveway width and door clearances that make a two-person carry straightforward.
The nearest places we also cover are Phoenix (15 miles), Mesa (21 miles) and Gilbert (27 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.
