The local numbers
Who lives in the Town of Springfield, and how long they stay
Turnover in Springfield runs well below the county's. Only 11.5% of households (128 of 1,117) moved in during 2020 or later, compared with 32.1% across Dane County, while 23% have been in the same home since 1989 or earlier. Here the typical cleanout comes from downsizing, an estate, or a garage, barn or shed that has filled up over decades, more than from a move.
Springfield is overwhelmingly owner-occupied: only 10.5% of households rent, against 42.9% across the county. Owners accumulate: garages, pole sheds and outbuildings that nobody has had a reason to clear.
The median home in the Town of Springfield was built in 1978 (county: 1986); 54% predate 1980 and 17.2% went up in 2000 or later.
