Census and NOAA figures for the city of Clarkston in DeKalb County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Clarkston was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992. That is older than the DeKalb County median of 1984.1 About 53% of Clarkston's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 5% since 2010. The largest single share, 42%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than DeKalb County as a whole (44% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Most housing units in Clarkston are not detached houses: 54% are in buildings of five or more units and only 18% are detached single-family homes.1 With most units in multi-family buildings, condo and HOA approvals sit alongside the permit for interior work.
Renters are the clear majority in Clarkston: only 18% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, below the Georgia share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Clarkston is valued at $302,600 (ACS), close to the Georgia median of $303,300. Within DeKalb County the median is $357,800, so Clarkston sits below it.1 The Atlanta Peachtree Ap station averages 49 nights a year at or below 32°F and 4 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 53 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 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. Rainfall is substantial: about 51 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.
Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,980 heating and 1,728 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Clarkston sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Clarkston are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
