Whose roof is it? Harrisburg homes by building type
Most Harrisburg homes stand alone (88%[4] detached), so the roof — and the call on repair versus replacement — usually rests with the owner.
After detached houses, the biggest group is attached house (townhouse, rowhouse): 642 of 6,571 housing units[4].
