Lancaster has 10,113 residents (give or take 27) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,721 people per square mile.
Lancaster is about 10 miles from the Census center point for Buffalo in a straight line and covers 2.718 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).
Of the 4,850 occupied homes in Lancaster, 89% heat with natural gas, 2% with heating oil, 8% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19).
Lancaster has about the Erie County oil share of 1% and 1 points less electric heat than the county's 9% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US36029, checked 2026-10-19).
Gas heats 89% of Lancaster against electricity at 8%, so most quotes here are a partial-home system that carries the shoulder seasons and the summer while the gas furnace handles the coldest nights, or a whole-home system when the house is ready for it.
Lancaster has 5,154 housing units, 40% built before 1940 and 91% before 1980, with 2% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19).
The median Lancaster home was built in 1952 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 6 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19).
Lancaster has 11 points more pre-1940 homes than Erie County as a whole (29%) and 8 points fewer homes built after 2000 than the county's 10% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US36029, checked 2026-10-19). An older stock means more insulation upgrades before the heat pump goes in.
62% of Lancaster homes are single-family detached, 24% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 7% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19).
26% of Lancaster homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US3641135, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 62% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.
