Housing & Dwellings in Eureka
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
Much lower housing costs than most similar areas define Eureka, where the typical monthly mortgage payment is just $1,096. This affordability is matched by a high number of renters and a strong preference for detached houses. Most residents live in separate homes, though these are slightly smaller than the state average.
