A Compact City Built Out by the 1940s
Clawson incorporated as a village in 1921 and became a city in 1940, and most of its housing stock dates to roughly that window -- a compact, densely built community that reached its current 2020 population of 11,389 without much room left to expand.

Smaller footprints and tighter lot spacing from the 1920s-40s building era mean less airflow between structures and, often, smaller crawlspaces with less room for ventilation improvements than a newer subdivision would allow.
