Salem County's rentals don't look alike from town to town, and the maintenance work doesn't either.
In Salem City, 39% of renters live in two to four-unit buildings and another 20% in rowhomes and twins. Penns Grove is similar, with 31% in small multi-family and 23% attached. Carneys Point and Pennsville lean the other way: roughly three in ten renters there live in buildings of 20 units or more. In the rural townships, it's houses. In Pittsgrove, 97% of rentals are detached homes. In Quinton, almost a quarter of renters live in mobile homes.
Age matters too. 75% of Salem County's housing predates 1980, and in Salem City and Penns Grove it's 90%.
