What pickup looks like in Philadelphia 19138
Homes in this ZIP are dense and older, with about 17,991 people per square mile across about 1.8 square miles of land. That density means curb space is often tight, and parking can be a few doors down from the entrance.
The crew carries items from wherever they are, so a long walk to the truck is not a problem.
About 4 percent of homes are single-family detached, while roughly 6 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. Stairs and narrow hallways are common in a stock where the median home was built in 1944.
The crew is used to tight doorways and upper-floor carries, and they protect walls and railings as they work.
With about 82 days a year of measurable rain and roughly 49 inches of precipitation annually, wet sidewalks and slick steps are a real possibility. The crew works through it, and the area is swept before they leave. Winter here reorders the queue rather than emptying it.
How 19138 compares with other areas
The tenure mix in 19138 shapes when pickups cluster. About 36 percent of occupied homes are rented here, which is higher than the roughly 30 percent in Raleigh, NC 27614 and Demorest, GA 30535, and well above the 16 percent in Stockton, MD 21864.
Rental turnover tends to concentrate move-out cleanouts at certain points in the year.
Building type also changes access. With only about 4 percent of homes single-family detached, pickups here more often start at a shared entrance or stairwell than at a private driveway. That contrasts with the roughly 87 percent single-family detached rate in Stockton, MD 21864 and the 73 percent in Demorest, GA 30535.
That difference tends to send more 19138 customers toward furniture and appliance removal, where stairs and tight spaces are the norm.
Where your junk goes after it leaves 19138
The crew sorts every load. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, while metal, electronics, and green waste are routed for recycling. Items that cannot be reused or recycled go to the landfill.
