Census and NOAA figures for the city of St. Cloud in Stearns County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of St. Cloud was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Minnesota median of 1979.1 About 48% of St. Cloud's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in St. Cloud are older than rentals: a median build year of 1977 against 1985.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
St. Cloud has a mixed housing stock: 50% detached houses, 4% attached or townhouse units and 39% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in St. Cloud, with 49% of occupied homes owner-occupied (72% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in St. Cloud is valued at $225,000 (ACS), below the Minnesota median of $329,300.1 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 St Cloud Rgnl Ap station averages 172 nights a year at or below 32°F and 102 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 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is moderate, about 28 inches.2,3
Snowfall averages about 48 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope. Heating dominates the year: about 8,490 heating degree days against 468 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.
St. Cloud sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).4 Building permits in St. Cloud are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
