About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Fayetteville population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Fayetteville across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

The North Carolina self-storage market, valued at approximately $XX million in 2025, is experiencing steady growth, projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.97% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is driven by several factors, including a rising population in major metropolitan areas like Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Durham, increasing urbanization, and a growing demand for flexible and convenient storage solutions among both residential and commercial customers. The increasing popularity of e-commerce and the subsequent need for businesses to manage inventory efficiently further contributes to market expansion. Furthermore, the state's robust economy and a consistent influx of new residents fuel the need for additional storage space. While land availability and construction costs represent potential restraints, the strong demand continues to outweigh these challenges, supporting a positive outlook for the sector. The market is segmented by user type (personal and business) and geography, with Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem comprising the most significant regional markets. Competition is relatively high, with established players like Life Storage Inc, Cubesmart LP, and several regional operators vying for market share.
