Census and NOAA figures for the village of Pontoon Beach in Madison County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the village of Pontoon Beach was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Illinois median of 1971. That is newer than the Madison County median of 1971.1 Pontoon Beach's housing is newer than the national mix: 36% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 6% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 37%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Madison County as a whole (61% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Pontoon Beach are of similar age: median build years 1991 and 1990.1
Pontoon Beach has a mixed housing stock: 60% detached houses, 0% attached or townhouse units and 6% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 26% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call. 70% of occupied homes in Pontoon Beach are owner-occupied, in line with the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Pontoon Beach is valued at $145,100 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Madison County the median is $173,000, so Pontoon Beach 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 Cahokia St Louis Ap station averages 98 nights a year at or below 32°F and 29 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 46 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 10 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 4,547 heating degree days against 1,476 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. Pontoon Beach sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Pontoon Beach are normally issued by the village building department.5,6
