The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Avon, and how long they stay
Very few households in Avon are new arrivals. Only 8.3% of households (22 of 266) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 19.6% across Rock County, while 25.6% have been in the same home since 1989 or earlier. Here the typical cleanout comes from downsizing, an estate, or a barn or garage that has been filling up for decades, rather than from a move.
About 22.2% of households in the Town of Avon rent (59), compared with 28.8% county-wide, and 8.5% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 45.5% of Avon's 279 homes were built before 1940, against 19.2% county-wide, and the median year built is 1946. That is the highest share of pre-1940 homes of the 28 municipalities we compared. Older farmhouses and village houses usually mean basements, attics and outbuildings, and the stairs and tight doorways that make a basement cleanout slower work.
25.6% of households here have lived in the same home since 1989 or earlier, well above the county's 11.9%. Only one of Rock County's 28 municipalities has a higher share of long-time households. Those are the homes that turn into estate cleanouts eventually, and they rarely fit in one trip.
