The median home in the city of Tallulah was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Louisiana median of 1983. That is older than the Madison Parish median of 1975.1 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: 67% of Tallulah's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 7% since 2010. The largest single share, 34%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Madison Parish as a whole (59% 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 Tallulah are of similar age: median build years 1971 and 1974.1 Housing in Tallulah is mostly detached single-family: 76% of units, with 10% 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. Renters are the clear majority in Tallulah: only 40% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, below the Louisiana share of 67%.1

The Tallulah Vicksburg Ap station averages 38 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers are hot: about 93 days a year reach 90°F and 4 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 53 inches, with 16 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 2,542 cooling degree days against 2,101 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. Tallulah sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-humid).4 Building permits in Tallulah are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
