Census and NOAA figures for the city of Du Quoin in Perry County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Du Quoin was built in 1964, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Illinois median of 1971. That is older than the Perry County median of 1973.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 68% of Du Quoin's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010. The largest single share, 23%, dates from before 1940. That makes it a newer stock than Perry County as a whole (61% built before 1980).1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Housing in Du Quoin is mostly detached single-family: 73% of units, with 9% 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. 66% of occupied homes in Du Quoin are owner-occupied, in line with the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Du Quoin is valued at $83,100 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Perry County the median is $112,600, so Du Quoin sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Carbondale Southern Il Ap station averages 94 nights a year at or below 32°F and 26 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 40 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 12 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 dominates the year: about 4,460 heating degree days against 1,370 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. Du Quoin sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Du Quoin are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
