The Census estimate counts 157 occupied homes in Taylorsville, with a margin of 63, and a median build year of 1938 for which it prints no margin. A house from that era may still carry older plumbing, and the age of the pipes matters more than the median. Renters occupy 46 of the 157. For a split pipe or supply-line flood, or any other room, call (678) 288-4775 with the street address.
The weather record
In the Weather Service's annual summary, Atlanta's 2024 rain ran 13.47 inches over normal (63.18 against 49.71), while Rome ran 5.28 over (57.20 against 51.92), with 3.68 inches on 29 November. Neither station is in Taylorsville, so treat the numbers as the regional picture.
What an old median does and does not tell you
A median of 1938 describes the middle house, not every house, and the Census prints no margin for it. Some houses may have been rebuilt or had their plumbing replaced. The water heater's age and the type of supply lines are the facts that help the contractor, and the owner or the landlord usually knows them.
With only 157 occupied homes, a few houses can move any average. Tenants, 46 homes by the Census estimate, begin with the building's owner.
