Polybutylene and Goose Creek's housing
The 1980–1999 share here is 38%, above the South Carolina figure of 32%. That ranks 2nd highest of the 11 South Carolina cities we profile. Not every home from those years has polybutylene, but enough do that buyers, inspectors and insurers in Goose Creek ask about it.
