Messy Americans are more likely to use self-storage

There is one factor that is associated with big differences in self-storage use, and that's how cluttered people say their homes are. 23% of people in the most cluttered households rent a self-storage unit, compared to 8% of people in homes that aren't very cluttered and 7% in those that are not at all cluttered. The 9% of Americans who live in "very cluttered" homes make up 21% of Americans who rent self-storage units.
