Demand vs competition — keyword “movers”

Second GBP siting for Moving and Storage of Jacksonville · 19 Aug 2026

Where these numbers come from

Demand (ACS). ACS is the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey — the standard government estimate of who lives where, and who moved in the last year. We use the 2020–2024 5-year estimates (table B07003, pulled via Census Reporter). “Inbound” counts people who lived in a different county, different state, or abroad one year ago. That is the best public proxy for households likely to hire a mover. Same-ZIP or same-county hops are excluded because many of those never book a moving company.

Competition (Google). Live Google Maps and Local Finder results for the keyword movers (not “jacksonville movers”), 19 Aug 2026, at each ZIP centroid and at each staffed office address. Local Finder is the 3-pack a customer standing at that address would see.

What changed vs the last report

ZIP competition is no longer the old Jacksonville-movers grid. It is a fresh Maps search for “movers” at each ZIP centroid. That made 32256 look much better because the centroid sits on the Town Center / Deerwood side. Baymeadows is still a war zone — that shows up at the Kuna and Fortune Parkway pins, not at the ZIP centroid. The east-32256 radial map is the visual of that split.

Open the 32256 radial competition map 1-mile circular spokes, 6 miles out from OE Town Center, Regus Town Center, and HQ Deerwood. Color = Maps competition for “movers”. Pinch to zoom on a phone.

32256 is two markets

Town Center / Deerwood (Gate Parkway, Deerwood Park Blvd) is high demand and a weak “movers” pack. Baymeadows / Fortune Parkway is the same ZIP with Two Men, TMM, and Conser. Lease east. Do not treat a 32256 Regus as interchangeable. The radial map around the three east offices is the picture of that line.
