The median home in the community of Claiborne was built in 1992, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Louisiana median of 1983. That is newer than the Ouachita Parish median of 1983.1 Most of Claiborne's housing is recent: only 29% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 12% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 35%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Ouachita Parish as a whole (46% 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 Claiborne are of similar age: median build years 1993 and 1990.1
Housing in Claiborne is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 10% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 9% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 69% of occupied homes in Claiborne are owner-occupied, in line with the Louisiana share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Claiborne is valued at $219,200 (ACS), close to the Louisiana median of $216,500. Within Ouachita Parish the median is $194,400, so Claiborne sits above it.1

Annual precipitation is about 55 inches, with 18 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.
