Re: How many homes down south (of me) have basements

Lots of basements here in NW Chicago suburb. No seismic or high wind issues, soils vary somewhat. 42" frost depth. Almost 100% concrete footings/foundations.

Some of the older homes have basements, most are crawlspaces, a very few slab on grade. Due to our temps in the winter - usually 30's day, teens night, can drop below 0 both day and night - slab on grade is not preferred here. Nothing new in the past few years that has a basement, just crawlspaces.
