Census and NOAA figures for the city of San Gabriel in Los Angeles County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of San Gabriel was built in 1957, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the California median of 1976.1 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: 75% of San Gabriel's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in San Gabriel are older than rentals: a median build year of 1948 against 1967.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
San Gabriel has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 12% attached or townhouse units and 26% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in San Gabriel, with 50% of occupied homes owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in San Gabriel is valued at $945,700 (ACS), above the California median of $734,700.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
