Census and NOAA figures for the city of Columbus in Muscogee County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Columbus was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992.1 About 53% of Columbus's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 9% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Columbus are of similar age: median build years 1979 and 1981.1 Housing in Columbus is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 21% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.
Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Columbus, with 51% of occupied homes owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Columbus is valued at $193,900 (ACS), below the Georgia median of $303,300.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Columbus Metro Ap station averages 28 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3
Summers are hot: about 80 days a year reach 90°F and 3 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, 14 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.
Cooling dominates the year: about 2,534 cooling degree days against 1,942 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. Columbus sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Columbus are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
