The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Colquitt County as a whole (42% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied homes in Moultrie are older than rentals: a median build year of 1975 against 1983.¹ Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
