Census and NOAA figures for the town of Griffith in Lake County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Griffith was built in 1965, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Indiana median of 1976. That is older than the Lake County median of 1968.1 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: 78% of Griffith's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010. The largest single share, 44%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Lake County as a whole (66% 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.
Owner-occupied and rented homes in Griffith are of similar age: median build years 1964 and 1966.1 Housing in Griffith is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 22% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Griffith are owner-occupied, in line with the Indiana share of 71%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Griffith is valued at $210,100 (ACS), close to the Indiana median of $218,200. Within Lake County the median is $230,600, so Griffith sits below it.1 Winters are long: the Valparaiso Porter Co Muni Ap station averages 125 nights a year at or below 32°F and 50 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 15 days a year reach 90°F.2,3
Annual precipitation is about 33 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,737 heating degree days against 976 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. Griffith is about 8 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter.
Griffith sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Griffith are normally issued by the town building department.7,8
