The local numbers

Who lives in the Town of Magnolia, and how long they stay

Magnolia is a stay-put place. Only 7% of households (31 of 441) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 19.6% across Rock County, while 22.9% 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.

Magnolia is overwhelmingly owner-occupied: only 8.2% of households rent, against 28.8% across the county. Owners tend to accumulate: garages, sheds and outbuildings that nobody has had a reason to clear.

The housing here is old. 41.7% of Magnolia's 460 homes were built before 1940, against 19.2% county-wide, and the median year built is 1959. Older farmhouses and village houses usually mean basements, attics and outbuildings, and the stairs and tight doorways that make a basement cleanout slower work.

21.1% of homes in the Town of Magnolia are mobile or manufactured homes, compared with 2.6% across Rock County. Only one of Rock County's 28 municipalities has a higher share of mobile homes. Clearing one out usually means narrow hallways and a single door, which is worth mentioning when you ask for a quote.

22.9% of households here have lived in the same home since 1989 or earlier, well above the county's 11.9%. Those are the homes that turn into estate cleanouts eventually, and they rarely fit in one trip.
