Census and NOAA figures for the city of Houma in Terrebonne Parish, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Houma was built in 1973, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Louisiana median of 1983.1 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. Somewhat more of Houma's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Houma are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1975 against 1966.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Houma is mostly detached single-family: 85% of units, with 8% 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 Houma are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Houma is valued at $205,900 (ACS), close to the Louisiana median of $216,500.1
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Houma) averages 9.5 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Summers are hot: about 76 days a year reach 90°F and 0 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 65 inches, with 22 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 2,969 cooling degree days against 1,250 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.
Houma is about 22 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. Houma sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Houma are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
