Census and NOAA figures for the city of Scottsboro in Jackson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Scottsboro was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Alabama median of 1986. That is older than the Jackson County median of 1985.1 About 53% of Scottsboro's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 7% since 2010. The largest single share, 36%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Jackson County as a whole (43% 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 and rented homes in Scottsboro are of similar age: median build years 1978 and 1979.1
Housing in Scottsboro is mostly detached single-family: 75% of units, with 8% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 10% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 68% of occupied homes in Scottsboro are owner-occupied, in line with the Alabama share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Scottsboro is valued at $190,400 (ACS), below the Alabama median of $209,900. Within Jackson County the median is $159,500, so Scottsboro sits above it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Scottsboro 2 Ne station averages 72 nights a year at or below 32°F and 12 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 46 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 55 inches, with 16 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 3,339 heating degree days against 1,522 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. Scottsboro sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Scottsboro are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
