Healthy Home Assessments in Armada Township

Armada Township, house by house

One local marker: Reader's Digest named Armada the Nicest Place in Michigan in July 2019 and made it a finalist for the magazine's 50 Nicest Places in America story.

The housing stock

Of units counted in 2023, 93.6% are detached single-family homes and 92.3% of occupied units are owner-occupied. Some 31.1% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. With construction recorded from 1915, an older envelope behaves differently from new build.

With owner-occupancy at 92.3%, the report can follow moisture from the roofline down to the slab without stopping at a lease boundary.
