The local numbers
Who keeps the lawns in Edgerton
Of the 2,298 households in Edgerton, 61.5% own the home they live in (Rock County: 71.2%). Owners are the ones who pick between a push mower, a riding mower and a weekly service. It ranks 5th of 6 here.
64.8% of Edgerton's 2,517 housing units are single-family detached houses, fewer than the county's 74.4%. More people live in duplexes and apartments, where a landlord or association hires the mowing for the whole row. 21.5% are in buildings of five or more units, the shared lawns a commercial mowing route handles.
Edgerton's median year built is 1969 (county 1970), and 23.5% 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. It ranks 4th of 6 here.
