What the housing stock in 60085 means for your cleanout
This ZIP holds about 72,763 residents across roughly 14.8 square miles, which works out to about 4,912 people per square mile. That density means many pickups start at a stairwell or a narrow hallway rather than a driveway, and the crew is used to carrying items out of multi-story buildings.
About 46 percent of homes here are single-family detached, while about 28 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. About 53 percent of occupied homes are rented, so the work ranges from a renter moving out to a landlord clearing a unit between tenants.
The median home here was built in 1967, and about 1 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later.
Expect the outdoor pile to wait for the thaw and the indoor one to be dealt with while it does, since the area sees about 35 inches of precipitation and about 43 inches of snow a year.
