The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Albion, and how long they stay
Turnover in Albion runs well below the county's. Only 10.5% of households (72 of 687) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 9.9% 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.
Albion is overwhelmingly owner-occupied: only 11.2% 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. 21.9% of Albion's 839 homes were built before 1940, against 10.4% county-wide, and the median year built is 1972. Older houses usually mean basements, attics and narrow stairs, which make a basement cleanout slower work.
