The median home in the city of Harrison was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arkansas median of 1987. That is older than the Boone County median of 1985.1 About 48% of Harrison's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 5% since 2010. The largest single share, 36%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Boone County as a whole (42% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Harrison are of similar age: median build years 1980 and 1983.1

Housing in Harrison is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 18% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Harrison, with 55% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Arkansas share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Harrison is valued at $169,600 (ACS), below the Arkansas median of $188,000. Within Boone County the median is $188,900, so Harrison 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.

The Harrison Boone Co Ap station averages 76 nights a year at or below 32°F and 19 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 41 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 12 days of it 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 3,883 heating degree days against 1,475 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. Harrison sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Harrison are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
