Executive Findings for Texas Operators (2025–2026):
- Austin & DFW Summer Surge: Facilities raising street rates 15–20% during peak June weeks observed zero statistically significant drops in occupancy due to high tenant tenure duration (avg 14.2 months).
- Inelastic 10x10 CC Demand: Move-in price elasticity across Texas metros averages -0.42, indicating that summer movers prioritize location and unit availability over $15-$25/month price differences.
- Static Pricing Penalty: Flat-rate Texas facilities surrendered an average of $74.20 per unit per year in unpriced peak demand.
