Census and NOAA figures for the city of Altus in Jackson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Altus was built in 1972, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oklahoma median of 1980. That is in line with the Jackson County median of 1973.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. The stock is old by national standards: 68% of Altus's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 6% since 2010. The largest single share, 37%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Jackson County as a whole (65% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows.
Owner-occupied and rented homes in Altus are of similar age: median build years 1974 and 1973.1 Housing in Altus is mostly detached single-family: 83% of units, with 9% 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 Altus, with 54% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Oklahoma share of 66%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Altus is valued at $152,200 (ACS), below the Oklahoma median of $199,800. Within Jackson County the median is $158,400, so Altus sits close to it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Hobart Muni Ap station averages 80 nights a year at or below 32°F and 16 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summers are hot: about 94 days a year reach 90°F and 28 reach 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. Annual precipitation is moderate, about 28 inches.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,406 heating and 2,307 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3
Altus sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Altus are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
