Housing & Dwellings in Walpole
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
More than half of the homes in Walpole are now owned outright, a significant jump from 34.2% in 2011. This shift toward full ownership is paired with very low housing costs compared to the rest of the country. It is a place where detached houses dominate the landscape and most residents live with plenty of spare room.
