The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of York, and how long they stay
York is a stay-put place. Only 8% of households (26 of 324) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 23.1% 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 15.7% of households in the Town of York rent (51), compared with 42.9% county-wide, and 15.7% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 31.3% of York's 335 homes were built before 1940, against 10.4% county-wide, and the median year built is 1977. Older houses usually mean basements, attics and narrow stairs, which make a basement cleanout slower work.
