How the housing sits
Owner-occupancy sits at 82.2%, and 80.6% of all units are detached single-family homes, per 2023 five-year Census figures. Bachelor's attainment among adults is 41.0%. The building record here reaches back to 1855, and an older envelope moves air and holds moisture on its own terms.
At 82.2% owner-occupancy the person booking usually controls roof, basement and ducts together, so the walkthrough follows them in one pass.
