How is this storage cost data collected?

Prices are extracted directly from operators' own websites and booking systems (operator-published pricing for 1,193 of 2,286 tracked facilities), normalized to a monthly rate, and refreshed continuously. Averages include operator 'starting from' (LOW confidence) prices. Provincial-average fallback prices are excluded from these averages.

Methodology. City averages use each facility's lowest operator-published rate per size, including LOW 'starting from' prices; national and provincial averages are facility-count-weighted across cities. SIMULATED provincial-average fallback prices are excluded. Source data is extracted from operators' own websites and booking systems, normalized to monthly rates, and refreshed continuously. Figures reflect October 2026. Full methodology.
