- The area has a historic preservation overlay, and many homes are city-designated historic-cultural monuments.
- About 61% of housing units were rented in 2008 data, and the average household has about 3.3 people.

Source is the Wikipedia article on Highland Park. In practice, houses of this age can have the original lateral, and larger households put more daily load on the line. If a home is in a historic area, check with the city before changing the outside of the property. Sewer line work underground is a separate matter.
