The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Rutland, and how long they stay
Rutland is a stay-put place. Only 14.1% of households (104 of 740) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 15.8% 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.
About 13.2% of households in the Town of Rutland rent (98), compared with 42.9% county-wide, and 6.1% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 21.2% of Rutland's 750 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.
