The metro’s population expanded at an annual rate of 3.3 percent since 2009 with the addition of 296,000 individuals in the Austin area. Annual growth will accelerate in the coming five years to 3.0 percent as the metro gains 301,000 residents.
Steady demand and greater supply for self-storage facilities in the metro pushed up vacancy 90 basis points to 12.1 percent in 2014.
Vacancy will decrease this year, slipping back down 90 basis points annually to 11.0 percent. Strong space demand this year will place Austin vacancy below the national average of 11.5 percent.
