Census and NOAA figures for the city of Glencoe in Etowah County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Glencoe was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is newer than the Etowah County median of 1975.1 About 53% of Glencoe's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 4% since 2010. The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than Etowah County as a whole (58% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied homes in Glencoe are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1982 against 1970.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Glencoe is mostly detached single-family: 92% of units, with 2% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. The median owner-occupied home in Glencoe is valued at $206,100 (ACS), close to the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Etowah County the median is $167,100, so Glencoe sits above it.1 The Gadsden 19 N station averages 67 nights a year at or below 32°F and 11 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summers bring about 26 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 58 inches, with 17 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating dominates the year: about 3,446 heating degree days against 1,290 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Glencoe sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Glencoe are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
