How housing varies across Buchanan County
Housing stock in Buchanan County skews older and detached. The median year a home was built here is 1971, and about 65 percent of homes were built before 1980. That older stock means appliances and furniture are often original to the property, which is why Estate Cleanout and Appliance Removal lead the list of requests.
Newer construction is rare but present. About 7 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, and roughly 31 new homes were authorized in 2024. That mix means the crew handles both decades-old basements and fresh construction debris, often in the same week.
About 82 percent of homes are single-family detached, while only 4 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. Rural properties add another layer, with about 5 percent of homes being mobile or manufactured. The result is a job list that runs from a single farmhouse fridge to a whole property cleanout.
