Housing in Laona Township
Laona Township has an estimated population of 1,342 and 580 housing units across 27.1 square miles. That's about 50 people per square mile, thin enough that most of the land here is farmland, not subdivisions. The Census Bureau doesn't separately publish a detailed housing-age or tenure breakdown at this population size, so Winnebago County's own numbers, on the other Winnebago County pages on this site, are the closest real context for Laona Township specifically, not a figure unique to it.
