Census and NOAA figures for the city of Tucson in Pima County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Tucson was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arizona median of 1992.1 About 52% of Tucson's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 6% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Tucson are older than rentals: a median build year of 1977 against 1981.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Tucson has a mixed housing stock: 52% detached houses, 8% attached or townhouse units and 27% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Tucson, with 52% of occupied homes owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Tucson is valued at $266,200 (ACS), below the Arizona median of $394,500.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Tucson Intl Ap station averages 12 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 158 days a year reach 90°F and 68 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 11 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.1 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,424 cooling degree days against 1,332 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Tucson sits in IECC climate zone 2B (Hot-Dry).4
Building permits in Tucson are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
