The local numbers
Who lives in Maple Bluff, and how long they stay
Few households in Maple Bluff are new arrivals. Only 15.6% of households (84 of 537) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 14.5% have been in the same home since 1989 or earlier. Here the typical cleanout comes from downsizing, an estate, or a garage, barn or shed that has filled up over decades, more than from a move.
Maple Bluff is overwhelmingly owner-occupied: only 7.6% of households rent, against 42.9% across the county. Owners accumulate: garages, pole sheds and outbuildings that nobody has had a reason to clear.
The housing here is old. 39.6% of Maple Bluff's 576 homes were built before 1940, against 10.4% county-wide, and the median year built is 1947. Only one of the 58 Dane County municipalities we compared has a higher share of pre-1940 homes. Older houses usually mean basements, attics and narrow stairs, which make a basement cleanout slower work.
