Eau Claire: Wide Clapboard Siding

Where would you expect to find the highest concentration of wide clapboard?
Why are the percentages of wide clapboard so low in the oldest sections of Eau Claire?
Since this survey was completed in the early 1980s,  what changes would you expect to see in regard to the width of  the siding? 


Wide wooden siding is typical of post-1940s housing, illustrated so well by this map.  The 1950-1960s suburbs predominate with this siding, but houses built during these decades in older neighborhoods, a process called in-filling, were also covered with wide clapboard.
