Census and NOAA figures for the city of Aurora in Arapahoe County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Aurora was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Colorado median of 1988.1 Aurora's housing is newer than the national mix: 37% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 15% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Aurora are of similar age: median build years 1985 and 1987.1 Aurora has a mixed housing stock: 53% detached houses, 11% attached or townhouse units and 30% in buildings of five or more units.1
62% of occupied homes in Aurora are owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Aurora is valued at $469,100 (ACS), below the Colorado median of $539,400.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Winters are long: the Denver-Stapleton station averages 156 nights a year at or below 32°F and 62 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions.
Summers bring about 42 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 15 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 49 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope.
Heating dominates the year: about 5,765 heating degree days against 813 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. Aurora sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Aurora are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
