The local numbers
Who clears the snow in Edgerton
Of the 2,298 households in Edgerton, 61.5% own the home they live in (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. It ranks 4th of 5 here.
64.8% of Edgerton's 2,517 housing units are single-family detached houses, fewer than the county's 74.4%. More of the town lives in apartments and attached homes, where a landlord or association contracts the lot and walks. 21.5% are in buildings of five or more units, which means parking lots to plow around parked cars.
Edgerton's median year built is 1969 (county 1970), and 23.5% 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. It ranks 4th of 5 here.
