Housing & Dwellings in Charlton

Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.

A huge gap exists between Charlton and the rest of the country, where 100% of the dwellings are separate houses. This detached housing style is far more common here than in the state or national figures. While many residents own their homes outright, those with loans face very high monthly costs.
