Local housing stock
Building in Portsmouth clusters in the late 1960s: the median unit dates to 1967, with 77.9 percent finished before 1990. Three quarters predates 1990, on crawl spaces and slabs at elevations that were comfortable when they were set and are less so now. There are essentially no basements, and for good reason.
