The local numbers
Who clears the snow in Beloit
Beloit has 13,638 occupied homes, and 59.4% of them are owner-occupied (Rock County: 71.2%). The owner is who a sidewalk ordinance lands on, and who usually decides between shoveling, a snow blower and a plow contract. That is the lowest owner-occupied share of the 5 cities on this site.
72.8% of Beloit's 14,531 housing units are single-family detached houses, close to the county's 74.4%. 13.9% are in buildings of five or more units, which means parking lots to plow around parked cars.
Half of Beloit's homes were built before 1957 (county 1970), and 26.9% predate 1940. Older blocks mean sidewalks on both sides, narrow single-car drives, detached garages off alleys and steps up to the porch: hand work as much as plow work. That is the highest share of pre-1940 homes of the 5 cities on this site.
