Healthy Home Assessments in West Bloomfield Township
Affluent lakes township of about 65,000 celebrating over 185 years since its 1833 organization, wrapped around Pine, Orchard, and Cass lakes. The assessment looks at the whole home, not one part.
What West Bloomfield Township is built of
One local marker: Known as Oakland County's lake township, holding 1,500 acres of wetlands and 75-plus miles of paths among its lakes.
The building stock
Of units counted in 2023, 74.4% are detached single-family homes and 83.2% of occupied units are owner-occupied. Bachelor's attainment among adults is 58.9%.
Orchard Lake is close, and water nearby lifts seasonal humidity, so basement moisture and condensation lead the visit. Because owner-occupancy reaches 83.2%, most visits cover a whole building rather than one unit of a shared system.
