Grand Rapids Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Grand Rapids at 1953, so a typical house here has about 73 years on it. Houses that old often still have duct runs sized for an old coal or oil furnace and 60- or 100-amp electrical panels. Both can add cost when new equipment goes in. Grand Rapids has roughly 44,000 owner-occupied homes, or 54.6% of households. Homes here have a median value of $225,500 and households a median income of $65,526.

Kent County had 7 hail days and 28 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost. Kent County also had 5 tornado days in that period.
