About Our Data

We track over 200 unique data points across supply, demand, and market performance. Here’s what that looks like:

Storage Supply

• 60,000+ active self-storage facilities across the U.S.
  
  
• 30,000+ facilities with pricing data down to the unit level, including cuts by ground floor vs. elevator, climate vs. ambient, drive-up, and unit type.
  
  
• 35,000+ owner names and contact details for active facilities.
  
  
• 4,000+ facilities under development, from early planning through construction (with developer details included where available).
  
  
• For storage overall, we track ~65,000 active sites and ~5,000 under development nationwide.
  
  
• TractIQ is proud to be the official data provider for MSM’s Self Storage Almanac.
  
  

Storage Demand Indicators

• Demographics (population, median income, population growth, and dozens of other factors).
  
  
• 79,000+ housing starts, spanning multifamily, single-family, elder care, and more.
  
  
• 318,000+ commercial construction projects, including education, industrial, office, hospitality, military, restaurant, retail, medical, and more.
  
  
• Traffic counts to understand exposure.
  
  
• Signal brands (e.g., Walmarts, Starbucks, Kroger) to help benchmark trade areas.
  
  

Historical Data & Frequency

• Rental rate data: 
  • We update our rental rate data daily but display it as monthly aggregates to smooth out short-term fluctuations and make underlying trends easier to see at both the facility and market level.
  • For facilities with less frequent pricing changes, we report data quarterly to provide a clearer view of long-term trends.
  • Data archive goes back to 2018, giving years of historical pricing trends.
    
    
• Demographic data: depending on the source, available back to 2010 for a long-term view of population dynamics.
  
  
• By default, TractIQ uses the most up-to-date EASI datasets, refreshed annually to ensure accuracy.

• Stage and date of last update
  
  
• Project description and cost
