The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Roxbury, and how long they stay
Roxbury is a stay-put place. Only 10% of households (70 of 697) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 17.8% 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.
Roxbury is overwhelmingly owner-occupied: only 9.8% 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. 20.7% of Roxbury's 736 homes were built before 1940, against 10.4% county-wide, and the median year built is 1981. Older houses usually mean basements, attics and narrow stairs, which make a basement cleanout slower work.
