Different climate but I lived in two poorly maintained Queenslanders[1] which were a popular style of timber on piles here, both 50 years old and would easily last longer. One even had minor termite damage which was later treated.
Many people here do knock down rebuilds but most would easily last longer than 30 years. Many timber houses get re-stumped after a few decades and concrete piles seem to be a popular choice for replacement.
I see a lot of poorly built homes on slabs as well which seem to have a similar lifespan as the Queenslanders (anecdotally).
