Stockton, measured: what it means for a haul
Stockton carries about 325,000 residents over 63 square miles — near 5,151 per square mile. That is the middle of the range, and it shows: the same crew will do a kerbside pickup and a second-floor carry on the same afternoon.
With 67% of homes detached and only 18% in buildings of five units or more, Stockton is house country. Access is rarely the problem here; volume is — garages and yards hold a lot more than a one-bedroom does.
At 53% owner-occupied, Stockton generates more cleanouts than move-outs — and cleanouts are the jobs where a photo saves the most back-and-forth, because volume is hard to describe in words. The median Stockton home was built in 1979, so most properties have the driveway width and door clearances that make a two-person carry straightforward.
Measured from the city centre, our closest other coverage is Antioch (27 miles), Modesto (29 miles) and Elk Grove (31 miles). Pros work across those lines all day, so the bids on a Stockton job often come from trucks that started the morning somewhere else entirely.
