Census figures with their margins, and about 200 new homes before the town. superbee_updated_by: 'process:hm-lane-civic' --- # Homes and housing in Fairport and Perinton If you are looking at homes, the village line tells you more than the ZIP code does. Most homes in the village were built before 1940, and more of them are rented than in the rest of the town, where most homes date from the 1950s to the 1980s. Prices are harder to call: the village medians are lower, but not by more than the survey's margin of error. Six projects in the town would add about 200 homes, and three of them have public hearings on Wednesday, October 21. Just arrived and need trash, electric, schools and buses instead? Start with [Moving to Fairport or Perinton: the practical basics](./moving-to-fairport-or-perinton.md). ## Village or town The Village of Fairport is inside the Town of Perinton, so the town figures below include the village; about 1 in 9 town residents lives in the village. A Fairport mailing address (ZIP 14450) doesn't put a house in the village, so check it on the village's [Am I in Fairport? map](https://fmcvof.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=b1b759717e61409180f3b482c6c77d3b). Village homes pay a village tax on top of town, county and school taxes, and get village services such as trash pickup; the [practical basics](./moving-to-fairport-or-perinton.md) guide has the rest. ## Homes by the numbers These are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates for 2020-2024, the newest release. Each figure is an average of five years of survey responses, not a count from this year. The table code after each measure is the ACS table it comes from. The number after ± is the margin of error at 90 percent confidence. The village is small, so its margins are wide. | Measure (ACS table) | Village of Fairport | Town of Perinton, village included | | --- | --- | --- | | People (B01003) | 5,403 (±35) | 46,961 (±48) | | Occupied homes (B25003) | 2,533 (±213) | 20,347 (±613) | | Owned by the people living there (B25003) | 68% (±8 points) | 79% (±2 points) | | Rented (B25003) | 32% (±10 points) | 21% (±2 points) | | Median value of owned homes (B25077) | $278,100 (±$33,334) | $310,200 (±$9,097) | | Median monthly rent, with utilities (B25064) | $1,165 (±$170) | $1,349 (±$87) | | Homes built 1939 or earlier (B25034) | 60% (±8 points) | 11% (±2 points) | | Homes built 2000 or later (B25034) | 8% (±5 points) | 14% (±2 points) | | Average trip to work, minutes (DP03) | 20.6 (±3.2) | 20.7 (±0.9) | What the margins mean for the comparison: - **Housing age is the clearest difference.** Most village homes were built before 1940. Most town homes were built from the 1950s to the 1980s. - **More village homes are rented.** The gap is larger than its margin of error. - **Home values and rents:** the village medians are lower than the town's, but the gaps are inside the margins of error. The survey cannot say the village is cheaper. - **Trip to work:** about the same in both. Median home value is what owners estimate their home would sell for. It is not a sale price. Median rent is gross rent, which adds utilities the renter pays to the rent itself. ### For comparison Same survey and years. These areas are large, so the margins are small: within about 2 percent of each figure. | Measure (ACS table) | Monroe County | New York State | | --- | --- | --- | | Median value of owned homes (B25077) | $213,700 | $423,800 | | Median monthly rent, with utilities (B25064) | $1,173 | $1,621 | | Owned by the people living there (B25003) | 64% | 54% | | Homes built 1939 or earlier (B25034) | 25% | 30% | | Average trip to work, minutes (DP03) | 19.9 | 32.6 | Shares are worked out from the table counts, with margins by the Census Bureau's method for a proportion. This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau. ## New homes before the town Six housing projects are before the town, all outside the village. Together they would add about 200 homes. Two have their final town approvals, Powder Mill Apartments has its special use permit but still needs other approvals, and three have public hearings on Wednesday, October 21. Home counts are the ones in the town's notices. Approval is not construction: no firm start dates have been announced, and for Ashbury Park the applicant's representative said work would start next fall at the earliest. | Project | Where | Homes | Stage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [The Place at WillowBrook](../updates/willowbrook-site-review.md) | WillowBrook Office Park, Pittsford Victor Road | 95 apartments in one 5-story building | Planning Board hearing October 21 | | [Powder Mill Apartments](../updates/powder-mill-apartments-special-use-permit.md) | Pittsford Victor Road, by Powder Mill Park | 39 apartments | Special use permit granted August 3 | | [Ayrault Townhomes](../updates/ayrault-townhomes-subdivision.md) | Ayrault Road | 33 for-sale homes: 16 duplexes and the existing house | Planning Board hearing October 21 | | [Hartwell Heights](../updates/hartwell-heights-mixed-use.md) | Thornell Road and Route 96 | 24 rental homes, including an existing house | Final site plan approved May 20 | | [Ashbury Park](../updates/ashbury-park-subdivision.md) | End of Shady Lane | 6 single-family lots | Subdivision approved September 16 | | [Lilac Estates](../updates/lilac-estates-subdivision.md) | Turk Hill Road | 6 lots: 5 new and 1 for the existing house | Planning Board hearing October 21 | The Town Board also holds hearings on Monday, October 5 on a proposed pause on approvals for projects of five or more homes in the Hamlet of Egypt, the ECCO District and Bushnell's Basin. The drafts say the pause would last up to six months, though their titles still say one year.
