Census and NOAA figures for the city of Fergus Falls in Otter Tail County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Fergus Falls was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Minnesota median of 1979. That is older than the Otter Tail County median of 1979.1 Somewhat more of Fergus Falls's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 58% against 50%, with 10% built since 2010. The largest single share, 26%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Otter Tail County as a whole (51% built before 1980).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. Owner-occupied homes in Fergus Falls are older than rentals: a median build year of 1969 against 1984.1 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 Fergus Falls is mostly detached single-family: 60% of units, with 26% 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. 64% of occupied homes in Fergus Falls are owner-occupied, below the Minnesota share of 72%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Fergus Falls is valued at $194,000 (ACS), below the Minnesota median of $329,300. Within Otter Tail County the median is $273,000, so Fergus Falls sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
Winters are long: the Fergus Falls station averages 174 nights a year at or below 32°F and 106 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Hot days are uncommon: about 8 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is moderate, about 27 inches.2,3
Heating dominates the year: about 8,882 heating degree days against 521 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. Fergus Falls sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Very Cold→ Cold).4 Building permits in Fergus Falls are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
