About 40% of Citrus Heights housing dates from the 1970s and another 21% from the 1980s; the ACS 2020–2024 median construction year is 1977.
Inspection details
These are housing-age figures, not an inventory of T1-11, hardboard, stucco or original windows. Begin with the actual exterior and any maintenance records. Around Sunrise Ranch, Birdcage Heights and Rusch Park, neighboring houses can have different additions and replacement histories despite similar original plans. Where panel siding is present, determine whether it also serves as sheathing before selecting a replacement assembly. A material's structural role must be checked on site rather than inferred from the tract's age.
