About the 2025 Self-Storage Almanac:
Make the most informed decisions about your business!
Developers turn to the Almanac because it gives the demand per person in the United States and then drills down to individual markets. Calculated by taking the total supply of rentable square feet of self-storage in the U.S. or market, multiplied by the average occupancy and divided by the population, the demand figures presented in the Almanac are used nationwide in feasibility studies and reporting on the health of the industry. They are widely seen as the most accurate figures available to the industry. The information is gathered from our data partner, Radius+.
The first edition of the Self-Storage Almanac was published in 1992 to help self-storage operators run their businesses more efficiently and to show that self-storage was evolving into a growing real estate asset class of its own. Since then, we've continuously expanded and improved the scope of information presented in the Almanac. Whether you are investing, building, operating, appraising, or managing self-storage facilities, the Almanac will provide you with the most current and comprehensive data, statistics, analysis, and trends in the self-storage industry.
