The largest single share, 27%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Glenn County as a whole (54% built before 1980).¹ On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Housing in Orland is mostly detached single-family: 74% of units, with 11% in buildings of five or more units.¹ A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.

59% of occupied homes in Orland are owner-occupied, in line with the California share of 56%.¹ The median owner-occupied home in Orland is valued at $342,200 (ACS), below the California median of $734,700.
