Housing & Dwellings in Docker
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Every single home in Docker is a separate house, making it an area of detached living. This creates a landscape where large family homes are the norm and home ownership is exceptionally high, with more than half the households owning their place outright.
