Census and NOAA figures for the city of Brazil in Clay County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The stock is old by national standards: 67% of Brazil's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 7% since 2010. The largest single share, 25%, dates from 1940-1959. That makes it a newer stock than Clay County as a whole (58% built before 1980).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 Brazil are older than rentals: a median build year of 1957 against 1981.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Brazil is mostly detached single-family: 75% 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. 73% of occupied homes in Brazil are owner-occupied, in line with the Indiana share of 71%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Brazil is valued at $113,900 (ACS), below the Indiana median of $218,200. Within Clay County the median is $153,000, so Brazil 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.
Winters are long: the Terre Haute Hulman Rgnl Ap station averages 110 nights a year at or below 32°F and 38 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summer heat is moderate: about 24 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 11 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 5,235 heating degree days against 1,077 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. Brazil sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Cold→ Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Brazil are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
