Half the homes in Racine were built before 1953 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 73 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. Owners live in 60.1% of occupied homes, roughly 19,000 households.
