The age of houses in America is actually covered by census data [0]! Which means we can actually discover a bit more, here. It does vary greatly, state to state. The median house age in Nevada is just 26. Whereas the oldest median (New York) is closer to 63.

That's still rather shy of 132. I'd say from the data, living in a 100yo house is a huge outlier.

I did not even think to look. Now that I have, there is another link [0] that breaks up the data into numbers of home of by age (I think the number of homes axis is a couple orders of magnitude off but is still representative).

thanks I knew I could count on someone from HN to do the work I was too lazy to do myself!
