- Match the name, the city and the status. The record should read active or in good standing.

The homes under these roofs
The median home in Akron went up in 1954, so the typical house is 72 years old. Set a typical $10,237 asphalt job beside the $111,200 median home value and the roof comes to 9 percent. That is long enough for roughly 3 asphalt roof cycles, so replacement, not first install, is the usual job. Before 1980, 83.5 percent of the housing stock went up.
