Norfolk sits in Madison County, Nebraska. Census figures put the town at about 25,883 residents and 10,660 households. Owners occupy 62 percent of the housing here, and 7,172 homes are detached single family.
This is one of the towns with an Epp office in it, so the trucks leave from inside the city limits. Building peaked in the 1970s at 2,214 homes, which is why the median year built sits at 1975. The survey reports a median home value of $192,300 and a median household income of $57,479. Owners hold 6,641 of the occupied homes, renters the other 4,019. 6,879 of those homes were finished before 1980, 65 percent of everything standing.
Population and housing figures: American Community Survey, by way of the Signature Media market data set.

Norfolk conditions
Why foundations move in Norfolk
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Norfolk comes back Muir at about 40 percent of the survey, with Nora and Blendon alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay, 19 percent silt and 24 percent sand. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 3.44 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Clay content is 80 percent inside the city and 51 percent countywide.
The seasonal cycle here
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Norfolk Karl Stefan Airport, about 3 miles away, precipitation averages 27 inches a year and snowfall averages 29.9 inches, and about 150 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder.
The housing stock
The typical house dates to 1975, and the single biggest block of the stock, 2,214 homes, went up in the 1970s. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 6,879 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 24 percent of the housing here, 2,605 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 55 percent carry a mortgage.

"A vertical crack in a poured wall is usually shrinkage from the cure. That's a sealant repair. A horizontal crack at the same height as the soil line outside is structural. We measure, we monitor, we don't guess. The wall tells you which one it is if you read it right."
