The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Plymouth, and how long they stay
Very few households in Plymouth are new arrivals. Only 10.2% of households (40 of 391) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 19.6% across Rock County, while 24.6% 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 12% of households in the Town of Plymouth rent (47), compared with 28.8% county-wide, and 8.5% of those renters moved in since 2020.
The housing here is old. 44.5% of Plymouth's 422 homes were built before 1940, against 19.2% county-wide, and the median year built is 1956. Only two of Rock County's 28 municipalities have a higher share of pre-1940 homes. Older farmhouses and village houses usually mean basements, attics and outbuildings, and the stairs and tight doorways that make a basement cleanout slower work.
24.6% of households here have lived in the same home since 1989 or earlier, well above the county's 11.9%. Those are the homes that turn into estate cleanouts eventually, and they rarely fit in one trip.
