Percent of Housing Units

66.2
Built Before 1990

In Florence County, 66.2 percent of all housing units were built prior to 1990. This 30-year threshold is significant
as it represents a time when many homes and multi-family structures begin to need more substantial
reinvestment or repairs. A substantial portion of the housing stock in the County is even older, with 27 percent
of all housing units built prior to 1960. From 2012 to 2020, Florence County issued between 300 and 500
residential building permits per year for new construction, alterations, or repairs. This is significant activity for a
County in this region. The majority of new residential construction permits were issued to builders constructing
in new communities. As of September 2021, 256 residential construction permits had been issued thus far for
the year with over half being new houses. As such, the trend in residential is continuing.
