Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma have counties with high shares of pre-1939 homes, rare due to age and preservation challenges.
A 2023 U.S. Census Bureau data analysis by Stacker identifies counties across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma with the highest shares of pre-war homes—those built before 1939.
These older homes, valued for craftsmanship and features like hardwood floors and high ceilings, are rare, with most Florida counties having less than 2% of homes from that era, while Georgia and Texas show higher concentrations, ranging from 7% to 14%.
Preservation often requires approval from local historic commissions, and many of these homes may contain hazardous materials.
Median construction years across the states range from the 1950s to the 2000s, reflecting a dominance of newer housing stock.
