Small town, small sample
Hudson has only about 640 housing units, so the Census estimates for it come with wide margins of error. What we can say is that it has a real mix of older town homes and newer houses on the edges.

Local conditions
What painting in Hudson involves
No windbreak
Homes take full sun and wind with almost nothing to slow it, so coatings on south and west walls work harder here than in the metro.
Metal and outbuildings
Shops and outbuildings are common and need rust treatment and a metal primer.
Newer houses on the edges
Census estimates suggest a fair share of Hudson homes were built in the 2010s, mostly at the edges of town. Those usually need washing, caulk and paint, while the older houses in town need more preparation.
More than the house
Projects in and around Hudson often reach beyond the house: steel garage doors, pole barns and fences. One estimate can list each structure so you can pick what to do this year.
