House age
How old the houses are, town by town
Mariemont has the oldest homes here, with the typical one built in 1945, and Loveland Park the newest, built in 1990. Only 2 of the 14 towns have a typical home from before 1960.
Older houses tend to add wiring, plaster repair and floor leveling to a kitchen; newer ones mostly change cabinets, counters and lighting. Every figure in the table comes from the Census Bureau, ACS 2024 five year.
Method
How the range is worked out
- The job: about 180 square feet, same layout, mid grade cabinets and quartz tops, appliances bought by the homeowner.
- Labor: hours per trade times the mean hourly wage for the Cincinnati area from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, times 1.45 to cover payroll taxes and insurance, and times 1.7 for the plumber, electrician and tile setter, who are usually subcontracted.
- Materials, permit fees and overhead come next; overhead is 28% of the labor, materials and permits.
- A margin of 15 to 25% of the price sets the low and the high end.
- Each town shows the same range because the same wages and crews cover the whole east side. Town figures are Census estimates as published.
