Census and NOAA figures for the city of Ontario in San Bernardino County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Ontario was built in 1980, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the California median of 1976.1 About 50% of Ontario's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 14% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Ontario are older than rentals: a median build year of 1978 against 1983.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Ontario has a mixed housing stock: 58% detached houses, 9% attached or townhouse units and 20% in buildings of five or more units.1 58% of occupied homes in Ontario are owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Ontario is valued at $607,600 (ACS), below the California median of $734,700.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Riverside Muni Ap) averages 3.5 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 100 days a year reach 90°F and 22 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 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Cooling dominates the year: about 1,854 cooling degree days against 1,386 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.
Ontario is about 34 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote. Ontario sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).6 Building permits in Ontario are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
