The local numbers
Who lives in Edgerton, and how long they stay
Edgerton sits near the Rock County norm for turnover: 20.7% of its 2,298 households moved in during 2020 or later, against 19.6% county-wide, and 9.4% have stayed since 1989 or earlier.
38.5% of Edgerton's households rent (884 of them), above the county's 28.8%. Only one of Rock County's 28 municipalities has a higher renter share. Among those renters, 29.2% 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.
Edgerton has more new housing than most of the county: 25.4% of homes were built in 2000 or later, against 16.3% county-wide, for a median year built of 1969. Newer houses have fewer decades of storage behind them, and the calls tend to be about a single room, a garage, or a move.
21.5% of Edgerton'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.
