77.4% of homes are single-family houses; for a house move we plan around the garage, patio and yard, and usually load from the driveway. People stay put here: only 3.7% of residents moved in the past year (LA County: 9.2%), so a move here is often out of a long-held home, with years of belongings to pack. 77.5% of residents speak Spanish at home — so do our office and most of our crews.
