Bigger lots, older houses
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 2,840 housing units in Trinity. About 86% are single detached houses and about 80% are owner-occupied. More than half were built before 1980, with the biggest wave in the 1970s. About 9% are manufactured homes, a higher share than anywhere else we work.

A Trinity house surrounded by woods and fields sees more of everything that lives in them. Field mice move into garages and crawlspaces in fall. Firewood stacked against the house brings termites, carpenter ants and spiders. Woodpiles and brush give mosquitoes shade.
Living next to the woods
Termites are the big one, especially where woodpiles, stumps or wooden steps touch the soil. Field mice head for garages, sheds and crawlspaces as soon as fall harvest starts. Ants and spiders build up around porches, decks and outbuildings, and shaded lots and farm ponds keep mosquitoes going until the first frost.
Getting to Trinity
Trinity is about 20 minutes down NC Highway 62 or through Archdale. We usually pair Trinity visits with Archdale on the same southern run.
