Binghamton Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Binghamton at 1946, so a typical house here has about 80 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. Owners live in 43.3% of occupied homes, roughly 9,100 households. The median home value is $117,400, and median household income is $44,331. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
