Homes in Detroit
Census figures put the median build year in Detroit at 1947, so a typical house here has about 79 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 49.7% of occupied homes, roughly 126,000 households. With a median household income of $39,575 and a median home value of $76,800, local labor rates come out below the national middle in our model.
