Census and NOAA figures for the city of Kansas City in Wyandotte County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Kansas City was built in 1961, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Kansas median of 1976.1 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: 76% of Kansas City's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 6% since 2010.1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Owner-occupied homes in Kansas City are older than rentals: a median build year of 1959 against 1968.1 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 Kansas City is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 15% 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.
61% of occupied homes in Kansas City are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Kansas City is valued at $167,400 (ACS), below the Kansas median of $217,200.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Kansas City Downtown Ap station averages 93 nights a year at or below 32°F and 31 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 47 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 38 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 4,613 heating degree days against 1,708 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.
Kansas City sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Kansas City are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
