Census and NOAA figures for the city of Clearwater in Pinellas County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Clearwater was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Florida median of 1988.1 Somewhat more of Clearwater's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 56% against 50%, with 6% built since 2010.1 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 homes in Clearwater are older than rentals: a median build year of 1975 against 1980.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Most housing units in Clearwater are not detached houses: 43% are in buildings of five or more units and only 38% are detached single-family homes.1 With most units in multi-family buildings, condo and HOA approvals sit alongside the permit for interior work. 59% of occupied homes in Clearwater are owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Clearwater is valued at $361,300 (ACS), close to the Florida median of $359,000.1
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Tampa Intl Ap) averages 0.8 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. Summers are hot: about 94 days a year reach 90°F and 0 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.
Rainfall is substantial: about 49 inches a year, 15 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. Measurable snow is rare (about 0 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,928 cooling degree days against 434 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.
Clearwater is about 3 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. Clearwater sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Clearwater are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
