The local numbers
Who keeps the lawns in Beloit
Beloit has 13,638 occupied homes, and 59.4% of them are owner-occupied (Rock County: 71.2%). The owner decides whether the lawn gets cut on Saturday by hand or every week by a crew. That is the lowest owner-occupied share of the 6 communities on this site.
72.8% of Beloit's 14,531 housing units are single-family detached houses, close to the county's 74.4%. 13.9% are in buildings of five or more units, the shared lawns a commercial mowing route handles.
Half of Beloit's homes were built before 1957 (county 1970), and 26.9% predate 1940. Older blocks mean narrow side yards, mature street trees that shade the grass and drop the leaves, and a terrace strip on both sides of the walk: trim work as much as mowing. That is the highest share of pre-1940 homes of the 6 communities on this site.
