Sarasota County carries a mixed vintage, 36.7% of its 260,272 housing units dating to before 1980 in US Census ACS housing age estimates. The estimated median Sarasota County structure is 41 years old. In a mixed vintage county like Sarasota, the older 36.7% carries most of the infiltration and inflow risk.
