The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Lima, and how long they stay
Turnover in Lima is well below the county's. Only 12% of households (61 of 510) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 19.6% across Rock County, while 15.5% have been in the same home since 1989 or earlier. Here the typical cleanout comes from downsizing, an estate, or a barn or garage that has been filling up for decades, rather than from a move.
About 13.3% of households in the Town of Lima rent (68), compared with 28.8% county-wide, and 33.8% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 36.6% of Lima's 536 homes were built before 1940, against 19.2% county-wide, and the median year built is 1964. Older farmhouses and village houses usually mean basements, attics and outbuildings, and the stairs and tight doorways that make a basement cleanout slower work.
18.1% of homes in the Town of Lima are mobile or manufactured homes, compared with 2.6% across Rock County. Clearing one out usually means narrow hallways and a single door, which is worth mentioning when you ask for a quote.
