Healthy Home Assessments in Auburn Hills
Auburn Hills is Detroit's northern engine room, a 100% urban Oakland County city that packs the Stellantis (Chrysler) North American headquarters, more than 50 automotive corporations, Oakland University, and Michigan's largest outlet mall into 17 square miles. We read the house top to bottom and write it down.
The homes of Auburn Hills
Oakland County corporate and retail hub along I-75 whose campus economy centers on the Stellantis headquarters, with a walkable riverfront downtown on the Clinton River. Worth knowing: Home of the Stellantis North America headquarters, one of the largest buildings in the United States at 5.4 million square feet. Counts run to 22,672 residents in 8,803 or so households. The town was renamed Amy in 1880 and became Auburn Heights in 1919.
How the housing sits
Detached single-family homes are 40.1% of the stock; owner-occupancy is 50.9% of occupied units, on 2023 five-year Census estimates. Adults with a bachelor's degree or higher come to 47.0%. A local landmark: Clinton River and the Clinton River Trail.
Because owner-occupancy runs to 50.9%, ventilation and shared air paths between units are read before anything inside a single room.
