The local numbers
Who lives in Evansville, and how long they stay
People move in and out of Evansville more often than the Rock County average. 735 of its 2,607 households, 28.2%, arrived in 2020 or later, against 19.6% county-wide. That is the highest share of recent movers of the 28 municipalities we compared. Moves are when junk surfaces: the couch that will not fit the new place, the basement nobody emptied, the unit a tenant left full.
31.4% of Evansville's households rent (819 of them), above the county's 28.8%. Among those renters, 46.5% 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.
Evansville has more new housing than most of the county: 32.3% of homes were built in 2000 or later, against 16.3% county-wide, for a median year built of 1984. That is the highest share of homes built since 2000 of the 28 municipalities we compared. Newer houses have fewer decades of storage behind them, and the calls tend to be about a single room, a garage, or a move.
16.8% of Evansville'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.
