The median home in the city of Richmond Heights was built in 1967, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Ohio median of 1970. That is newer than the Cuyahoga County median of 1957.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. The stock is old by national standards: 77% of Richmond Heights's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 6% since 2010. The largest single share, 47%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Cuyahoga County as a whole (80% 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 Richmond Heights are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1969 against 1965.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components. Richmond Heights has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 37% in buildings of five or more units.1 66% of occupied homes in Richmond Heights are owner-occupied, in line with the Ohio share of 67%.1
