Census and NOAA figures for the city of Joplin in Jasper County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Joplin was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Missouri median of 1978.1 About 46% of Joplin's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 20% since 2010.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied homes in Joplin are older than rentals: a median build year of 1983 against 1989.1 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 Joplin is mostly detached single-family: 71% of units, with 15% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Joplin, with 53% of occupied homes owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Joplin is valued at $168,300 (ACS), below the Missouri median of $230,300.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Joplin Regional Airport station averages 87 nights a year at or below 32°F and 25 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 53 days a year at 90°F or more and 4 at 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.
Rainfall is substantial: about 46 inches a year, 14 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating dominates the year: about 4,120 heating degree days against 1,650 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.
Joplin sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Joplin are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
