How the housing stock shapes junk removal across Chaffee County
Chaffee County is a rural area, with a resident population of about 19,876 spread across roughly 1013.4 square miles. That works out to about 20 people per square mile, so homes sit far apart and travel time between calls varies.
A pickup near Salida may be minutes away, while a property on the county's edge takes longer to reach.
The housing itself tells a clear story. About 80 percent of homes are single-family detached, and about 27 percent of occupied homes are rented. That mix means most calls involve a house and its yard, but a meaningful share come from tenants and landlords managing a property from a distance.
The age of the housing stock matters too. The median year a home here was built is 1992, with about 36 percent of homes built before 1980 and about 19 percent built in 2010 or later. Older homes tend to accumulate more over the decades, while newer construction often produces construction debris and yard waste.
About 289 new homes were authorized here in 2024, which keeps that flow steady.
