<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 />
