HOMES IN VINEYARD
What Vineyard homes are like.
2015Median year built
3%Built before 1980
45%Owner-occupied
68%Heat with utility gas
54%Single-family homes
About 95% of homes were built since 2010, so many original water heaters are reaching the age when replacement planning makes sense.
68% of homes heat with utility gas, so gas water heaters with existing venting are common here.
Only 45% of homes are owner-occupied. Renters should ask the landlord or property manager; replacing the heater is usually the owner’s decision.
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey ACS 2024 5-year ↗ (2020-2024). Heating fuel is what homes use to heat the house. It often, but not always, matches the water heater’s fuel.
