About Enfield
Enfield has 17,457 housing units, and the mix of homes shapes who ends up arranging a cleanup there. According to Census estimates, 30% of households are one person, the same as the region, and 26% of residents 65 or older live alone, compared with 29% in the region and 28% statewide. Only 24% of homes are rented, against 35% in the region, and just 11% are in buildings of 5 or more units, against 21% in the region. Enfield leans toward owner-occupied houses, and 43% were built before 1960.
With so many owned houses and so few apartment buildings, the call more often comes from a relative, an executor or a neighbor than from a landlord or property manager. When a long-term owner dies or leaves a house, someone from the family usually takes on the cleanup. Families in Enfield can also arrange unattended death cleanup or crime scene cleanup in Windsor nearby.
