Bayonne Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Bayonne at 1955, so a typical house here has about 71 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 37.4% of occupied homes, roughly 11,000 households. The median home value is $446,100, and median household income is $81,285. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
NOAA storm reports for Hudson County show 6 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. 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.
