What living in a dense, older ZIP means for a cleanout
In 60621, the median home was built in 1943, and about 84 percent of homes predate 1980. Older buildings often mean decades of accumulated belongings, so a full cleanout here tends to pull out furniture and appliances that have been in place for years.
About 75 percent of occupied homes in this ZIP are rented. For renters, that often means moving out requires hauling away whatever the previous tenant left behind, from a couch to a full apartment of contents.
The land area here is about 3.8 square miles with a density of about 7,277 people per square mile. Tight streets and limited parking are common, so the crew is used to working around parked cars and narrow entryways.
About 24 percent of homes are single-family detached, while 28 percent sit in buildings of five units or more.
Winter buries whatever is in the yard, so it is usually spring before that load moves. With about 39 inches of snow a year, outdoor items often wait out the cold months.
How the housing stock in 60621 compares with other areas
The age and type of housing here differ sharply from places like Midland, TX 79705, where about 66 percent of homes are single-family detached and only about 36 percent were built before 1980. In 60621, the older, denser stock means cleanouts more often involve walk-up stairs and shared hallways.
Homerville, GA 31634 has about 63 percent single-family detached homes with about 50 percent built before 1980 and about 34 percent rented. That area leans toward houses with yards and driveways, while 60621 leans toward multi-unit buildings.
Frohna, MO 63748 is almost entirely single-family detached at about 96 percent, with about 62 percent built before 1980 and only about 7 percent rented. That kind of area produces more garage and yard debris, while the difference in 60621 sends people toward appliance and furniture removal.
