Seven in ten Jackson homes were built before 1980, which is the highest share of any city in this batch. Most are mid-century brick and frame houses, with older bungalows in Belhaven and Fondren.

Only about one in eight homes was built in 2000 or later. Half of homes are rented, so landlords make up a large part of painting demand.
