Census and NOAA figures for the city of Abilene in Taylor County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Abilene was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 Somewhat more of Abilene's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 56% against 50%, with 12% built since 2010.1 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. Owner-occupied homes in Abilene are older than rentals: a median build year of 1969 against 1981.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Abilene is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 17% 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. 56% of occupied homes in Abilene are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Abilene is valued at $183,700 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Abilene Rgnl Ap station averages 48 nights a year at or below 32°F and 6 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Heat is the governing season: about 102 days a year reach 90°F and 18 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 25 inches.2,3 Snowfall averages about 4 inches a year.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,696 cooling degree days against 2,319 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
Abilene sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Abilene are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
