Census and NOAA figures for the city of Stow in Summit County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Stow was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Ohio median of 1970.1 About 53% of Stow's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 4% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Stow are of similar age: median build years 1978 and 1980.1 Housing in Stow is mostly detached single-family: 64% of units, with 18% 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.
72% of occupied homes in Stow are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Stow is valued at $248,000 (ACS), above the Ohio median of $214,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have. Winters are long: the Akron Canton Rgnl Ap station averages 120 nights a year at or below 32°F and 46 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 42 inches a year, 8 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. Snowfall averages about 47 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 5,700 heating degree days against 870 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. Stow is about 27 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter.
Stow sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Stow are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
