9%Built before 1980
75%Owner-occupied
83%Heat with utility gas
83%Single-family homes
About 41% of homes were built since 2010, so many original water heaters are reaching the age when replacement planning makes sense.
83% of homes heat with utility gas, so gas water heaters with existing venting are common here.
