Table 4-19 shows the number <strong>of</strong> occupied and vacant houses in<br />

<strong>Kenosha</strong> and the balance <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kenosha</strong> County. Additional details<br />

from the Census Bureau reveal that vacant rental units account<br />

for many <strong>of</strong> the vacant units in the City, while vacant units in<br />

the County are typically those for seasonal or recreational use.<br />

YEAR BUILT<br />

<strong>The</strong> housing stock in the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kenosha</strong> is somewhat older<br />

than the housing stock in the outlying county. Judging from<br />

Table 4-20, housing development in the City outpaced the rest<br />

<strong>of</strong> the County until 1980. From 1980 through 2004, however,<br />

more <strong>Kenosha</strong> County units were built outside the City.<br />
