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. Wake County’s roll in this data carries little or no property ZIP or single-family use description (under a quarter of its records), so those filters count almost nothing here. North Carolina rolls carry no homestead flag in this data, so nothing here says whether the owner lives in the property. 226,116 of Wake County's 368,916 records with a year built (61%) were built by 2005, and 137,045 by 1995; across the 34 page counties that record it, 73% were built by 2005.
