Census and NOAA figures for the city of Willmar in Kandiyohi County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Willmar was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Minnesota median of 1979. That is in line with the Kandiyohi County median of 1978.1 About 53% of Willmar's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 8% since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Kandiyohi County as a whole (53% 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 homes in Willmar are older than rentals: a median build year of 1973 against 1983.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Willmar has a mixed housing stock: 57% detached houses, 8% attached or townhouse units and 24% in buildings of five or more units.1 59% of occupied homes in Willmar are owner-occupied, below the Minnesota share of 72%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Willmar is valued at $198,400 (ACS), below the Minnesota median of $329,300. Within Kandiyohi County the median is $243,200, so Willmar 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 Willmar Wwtp station averages 166 nights a year at or below 32°F and 100 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 29 inches.2,3
Heating dominates the year: about 8,309 heating degree days against 596 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. Willmar sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).4 Building permits in Willmar are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
