Unit sizes, to scale

Storage units are sold by width x depth in feet, by the month. The footprints below are drawn to one shared scale so the jump between sizes is visible rather than asserted. Prices are the national median across every facility we track weekly.

Ceiling height is usually about 8 ft but is rarely published, so it is not part of the figures above. Medians are aggregates across every facility we track and carry no single collection date; the per-city tables do, and print it.
