Are there any online statistics about the demography of houses? - e.g. how many existing homes are 45 years old, how many are 46 years old etc. ?
Property tax information includes the date of construction, so I'd think that the demography of houses would be a fertile field for academic research.
I'm (idley) curious about statistics concerning the lifespan of "slab on grade" houses in the USA. In that style of construction, all the plumbing is buried under concrete. I wonder how long it usually lasts before the economical solution is to tear the house down and start over.
