Steel employment here is long tenure, so the market is driven by retirement rather than by people changing jobs: households that have been in the same quarters for thirty years clear them completely and all at once. That gives up well-kept older full sets rather than the single pieces a faster-moving city puts on the market.
The township is laid out in lettered and numbered sectors, and an address only makes sense if you have both — a sector letter on its own will not find a door. The plant townships gate their residential blocks as well, so the seller has to arrange entry in advance.
