Mold remediation in Fairfield borough
Fairfield is the smallest municipality on this list by housing units, and more than half of those units predate 1950.
Reading the housing data
Just over half of Fairfield’s housing, 53.4 percent, was built before 1950, and 40.4 percent before 1940, against a Census median of 1947. In a borough of 277 units, one street is a noticeable share of the total, so borough-wide percentages move easily.

What building age does and does not tell you
Across housing generally, the least expensive improvements sit outside the building: where roof water lands, and which way the ground falls in the first few feet from a wall. Those are cheap to check and cheap to correct at any age. What a particular property actually needs still comes from someone looking at it.
