The median Cambridge home dates to 1948, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 78 years old. 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. About 17,000 households here own their home, 33.7% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $126,469 and a median home value of $1,040,500, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
