Ankeny has about 72,600 residents (ACS 2024 5-year) and is one of the fastest-built cities in the metro: the median home dates from 2006 and only about 5% of homes are older than 1960.
About 71% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, with a median value of $331,000. In newer houses, wet basements more often come from settled backfill, short downspouts or a busy sump pump than from failing walls, and radon testing still applies to new homes as much as old ones.
