Census and NOAA figures for the city of Jackson in Madison County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Jackson was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Tennessee median of 1987.1 Jackson's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 10% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in Jackson are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1990 against 1984.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Jackson 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Jackson, with 51% of occupied homes owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Jackson is valued at $217,800 (ACS), below the Tennessee median of $286,700.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Jackson Mckellar Ap station averages 74 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 run hot, with about 58 days a year at 90°F or more and 1 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.
Annual precipitation is about 54 inches, with 16 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Measurable snow is rare (about 2.7 inches a year).2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 3,522 heating degree days against 1,717 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.
Jackson sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Jackson are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
