Census and NOAA figures for the borough of Mount Arlington in Morris County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the borough of Mount Arlington was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the New Jersey median of 1970. That is newer than the Morris County median of 1971.1 Mount Arlington's housing is newer than the national mix: 44% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 11% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 30%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Morris County as a whole (62% 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. Mount Arlington has a mixed housing stock: 47% detached houses, 15% attached or townhouse units and 33% in buildings of five or more units.1
Home ownership is the norm in Mount Arlington: 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the New Jersey share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Mount Arlington is valued at $422,900 (ACS), below the New Jersey median of $454,400. Within Morris County the median is $582,500, so Mount Arlington 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 Andover Aeroflex Ap station averages 127 nights a year at or below 32°F and 45 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.
Summer heat is moderate: about 11 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 49 inches a year, 12 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 5,926 heating degree days against 669 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.
