Self-storage statistics
Facility counts, unit prices, and amenity availability computed from 16,689 self-storage facilities listed on StorageAtlas across the United States and Canada. Updated October 2026. Free to cite with a link to this page.
The rates below were read from operators’ own websites between February 2026 and September 2026, half of them since February 2026. Prices change; treat anything here as the last figure we saw rather than today’s quote.

Average storage unit price by size
United States, in US dollars. Monthly rates from units with published prices on listed self storage facilities. Parking, luggage, cold storage and vehicle storage businesses are listed on this site but are not counted here, because their rates are not self storage rents. N is the number of unit prices in the sample. The median is the figure to read: an average is pulled upward by a small number of very expensive city-centre units, and it is shown beside the median rather than instead of it. A rate more than eight times the median for its own size is treated as a data defect and left out. Across the sizes in this table that removes 5 rates, and 2 more in the Canadian table below. Sizes with fewer than 30 published rates are not printed at all.

Canada, in Canadian dollars
The same measurement on Canadian listings, kept separate because a median spanning two currencies describes neither market. Coverage is thinner here, so the 30-rate floor leaves more sizes out of this table than out of the one above.

Average 10×10 price by US state

Methodology & citation
- All figures are computed from the 16,689 verified self-storage facilities listed on StorageAtlas across 46 US states and Canadian provinces — directory data, not an industry census.
- What “verified” means here: the facility has a working website that we crawled and confirmed belongs to a self-storage business, rather than a moving company, truck rental, or cloud storage service. It is not a quality rating, an inspection, or a check that the business is still trading.
- Prices are not confirmed current. 1 of the 16,689 listings has been claimed by its operator; on every other listing the rate shown is what that facility’s own website displayed on the date we last crawled it, and nothing re-checks it afterwards. Each listing shows its own last-checked date. Treat rates as a starting point and confirm with the facility.
- Prices come from the 7,155 listed facilities (43%) that publish unit rates on their websites. Price tables show sample sizes (N) and exclude groups below the sample floor.
