Census and NOAA figures for the city of Carencro in Lafayette Parish, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Carencro was built in 1988, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Louisiana median of 1983. That is in line with the Lafayette Parish median of 1988.1 Most of Carencro's housing is recent: only 32% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 35% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 35%, dates from 2010 or later. That makes it much the same age as Lafayette Parish as a whole (36% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied homes in Carencro are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2010 against 1984.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Carencro is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 15% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 13% of 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 Carencro are owner-occupied, in line with the Louisiana share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Carencro is valued at $214,800 (ACS), close to the Louisiana median of $216,500. Within Lafayette Parish the median is $242,900, so Carencro sits below it.1
The Lafayette Rgnl Ap station averages 11 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers are hot: about 91 days a year reach 90°F and 1 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 63 inches, with 19 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Cooling dominates the year: about 3,007 cooling degree days against 1,377 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Carencro is about 33 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
Carencro sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Carencro are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
