The local numbers
Who lives in Beloit, and how long they stay
Beloit turns over faster than the county around it. 3,188 of its 13,638 households, 23.4%, arrived in 2020 or later, against 19.6% county-wide. Only two of Rock County's 28 municipalities have a higher share of recent movers. Moves are when junk surfaces: the couch that will not fit the new place, the basement nobody emptied, the unit a tenant left full.
40.6% of Beloit's households rent (5,533 of them), above the county's 28.8%. That is the highest renter share of the 28 municipalities we compared. Among those renters, 37.2% moved into their current unit in 2020 or later. For landlords that is a steady run of turnovers, and a unit has to be empty before it can be shown. See rental and move-out cleanouts.
The median home in Beloit was built in 1957 (county: 1970); 77.9% predate 1980 and 11.3% went up in 2000 or later.
13.9% of Beloit's housing units are in buildings with five or more units (county: 11.7%). Apartment cleanouts mean stairwells, elevators and parking, so say which floor when you book.
