Per American Community Survey data the median home in Wilmington was built around 1946, which makes the typical house about 80 years old. There are roughly 35,772 housing units here with a median value near $224,500. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates. NEU uses details like these to match Wilmington homeowners with a home improvement contractor whose crews already know this kind of housing stock, not just whoever answers the phone first.

How is the Wilmington cost index calculated?
We scale the labor share of a national baseline cost by how Wilmington's average wage compares to the national average (index 1.05, using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics QCEW data), so local labor tracks local wages while materials stay national.
