The local numbers
Who keeps the lawns in Evansville
Of the 2,607 households in Evansville, 68.6% 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 3rd of 6 here.
67.4% of Evansville's 2,607 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. 16.8% are in buildings of five or more units, the shared lawns a commercial mowing route handles.
Evansville's median year built is 1984 (county 1970), and 25.4% 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 2nd of 6 here.
