By national ratios Leiden supports about 110 full-time mover pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. Ownership is split — 41 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.

6 mover pros are listed in Leiden; 0 of them offer junk removal specifically. Every listed pro covers roughly 13,000 households — plenty of room before this market reads as crowded.
