With 21,693 housing units, the city has a significant number of older properties, as 66.7% of units were built before 1950, and the median construction year is 1938. Only 5.3% of units were built in 2000 or later, meaning many homes may have unique layouts, original fixtures, and multi-level designs typical of earlier construction eras.

Cleaning details and local conditions
These older buildings often require specific considerations for access and cleaning.
Of the 21,151 occupied units, 16,123 are renter-occupied, while 5,028 are owner-occupied. This mix affects common cleaning requests, from move-in/move-out services for rental units to routine maintenance for owner-occupied homes. Detached single-family houses make up 3,366 of the total units, or 15.5%. The remaining units include attached homes, multi-family dwellings, and apartments, which can involve stairs, elevators, and different access points. Understanding these characteristics helps in scoping a cleaning visit, determining the appropriate crew size, and estimating the time on site.
