Census and NOAA figures for the city of Santa Fe in Santa Fe County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Santa Fe was built in 1986, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the New Mexico median of 1985.1 Santa Fe's housing is newer than the national mix: 40% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 10% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Santa Fe are of similar age: median build years 1986 and 1986.1 Santa Fe has a mixed housing stock: 56% detached houses, 10% attached or townhouse units and 16% in buildings of five or more units.1

Winters are long: the Santa Fe Co Muni Ap station averages 153 nights a year at or below 32°F and 50 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.
Summers bring about 41 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 11 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 5,385 heating degree days against 683 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.
