Wilmington planning context
U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that owner-occupied housing units represented 48.0% of Wilmington’s housing units in 2020–2024, while the median value of owner-occupied units was $231,400. Those figures provide useful context for homeowners planning a bathroom remodel: define the project’s scope, priorities, and intended outcomes before selecting finishes or making layout decisions. A clear plan helps connect improvements to the home’s existing residential context and the owner’s goals.
