The median home in the city of Benson was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arizona median of 1992. That is in line with the Cochise County median of 1987.1 Benson's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 11% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Cochise County as a whole (38% 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. Most housing units in Benson are not detached houses: 12% are in buildings of five or more units and only 39% are detached single-family homes. Mobile and manufactured homes are 42% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call.

60% of occupied homes in Benson are owner-occupied, below the Arizona share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Benson is valued at $148,900 (ACS), below the Arizona median of $394,500. Within Cochise County the median is $218,300, so Benson sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Benson sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).2
