Census and NOAA figures for the community of Vashon in King County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of Vashon was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Washington median of 1985. That is older than the King County median of 1983.1 Somewhat more of Vashon's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 58% against 50%, with 5% built since 2010. The largest single share, 31%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than King County as a whole (46% built before 1980).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. Owner-occupied homes in Vashon are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1979 against 1969.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Vashon is mostly detached single-family: 87% of units, with 5% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Vashon: 83% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Vashon is valued at $790,700 (ACS), above the Washington median of $564,600. Within King County the median is $859,900, so Vashon sits below it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
