The homes of Washington
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates for Washington city.
More homes in Washington were built in the 2010s than in any other decade, 31% of them, followed by the 2000s at 27%. A kitchen put in when one of those houses was new is now about 11 years old, unless it has been redone since.
Only 9% of homes here were built before 1980. If yours was built before 1978, the firm that remodels it has to be certified for lead-safe work by Utah’s own program, which EPA authorized.
