Census and NOAA figures for the city of Clearlake in Lake County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Clearlake was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the California median of 1976. That is older than the Lake County median of 1980.1 Somewhat more of Clearlake's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 59% against 50%, with 2% built since 2010. The largest single share, 42%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Lake County as a whole (51% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Clearlake are of similar age: median build years 1976 and 1979.1
Housing in Clearlake is mostly detached single-family: 63% of units, with 10% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 23% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 60% of occupied homes in Clearlake are owner-occupied, above the California share of 56%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Clearlake is valued at $214,200 (ACS), below the California median of $734,700. Within Lake County the median is $324,300, so Clearlake 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 Clearlake 4 Se station averages 72 nights a year at or below 32°F and 2 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 66 days a year at 90°F or more and 10 at 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.
Annual precipitation is moderate, about 30 inches.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 3,707 heating degree days against 788 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. The coast is about 44 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5
Clearlake sits in IECC climate zone 4B (Mixed-Dry).6 Building permits in Clearlake are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
