Las Vegas permitted 16.8 new residential units per thousand households last year, against 11.0 nationally. New construction brings site debris and dumpster demand, and it brings the move-ins that follow. 862,518 households and building.
42.2% of Las Vegas households rent rather than own, against 34.8% nationally. Across the metro's 862,518 households that is the largest single source of turnover work: apartment cleanouts, setouts and lockouts, and bulk pickups that recur with every lease cycle rather than arriving once.
People here move more than the country as a whole — 14.4% against 12.3%. Every one of those moves across 862,518 households is a decision about what not to take, and a share of them end in a call to someone with a truck.
