owner-occupied

Today, nearly three-quarters of Norwalk’s homes are owner-occupied and its median household income, though far below Beverly Hills’, is higher than the county average.

Damp is more common in the privately rented sector than in owner-occupied homes, those provided by local authorities, or housing associations.

Last year, premium rates for owner-occupied housing were up 11.3 percent on average nationally, based on data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Still, around 64% of the state’s population was classified as owner-occupied housing, according to the Census Bureau.

Various restrictions apply, but the main ones are that aid is available only for owner-occupied homes and that an applicant’s total household income must be no more than 150% of the area median income.
