Dublin Housing Stock
Half the homes in Dublin were built before 1996 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 30 years old.

With a median household income of $155,282 and a median home value of $514,900, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
NOAA storm reports for Franklin County show 16 hail days and 41 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across.
