Source: NC OneMap parcels (North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis) (nconemap.gov), each county's own parcel data, republished by NC OneMap on the county's schedule. Single family is a parcel whose county use description says single family (townhouses and row houses too); a roll that only says Residential, like Wake's, isn't counted. North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so nothing here says whether the owner lives in the property. 29,782 of Burke County's 34,235 records with a year built (87%) were built by 2005, and 24,840 by 1995; across the 34 page counties that record it, 73% were built by 2005.
