The homes of Lodi Township
A local distinction: Home of the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds, billed as Washtenaw County's largest event center. Counts run to 6,392 residents in 2,247 or so households.
What the numbers say
Census five-year estimates through 2023 put 83.9% of housing units in detached single-family homes and 96.5% of occupied units with their owners. Adults with a bachelor's degree or higher come to 60.0%. The record of building starts around 1829, so the assessment reads an older envelope.
With Saline River nearby, seasonal humidity behaves differently, and moisture is where the assessment starts. Owner-occupancy of 96.5% means the envelope and the equipment inside it normally sit with one decision maker, so findings are ordered by what to do first.
