The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Christiana, and how long they stay
Christiana is a stay-put place. Only 12% of households (50 of 418) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 17.2% 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.
About 13.4% of households in the Town of Christiana rent (56), compared with 42.9% county-wide, and 8.9% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 37.1% of Christiana's 445 homes were built before 1940, against 10.4% county-wide, and the median year built is 1965. Older houses usually mean basements, attics and narrow stairs, which make a basement cleanout slower work.
