Census and NOAA figures for the city of Alamo in Hidalgo County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Alamo was built in 1997, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Hidalgo County median of 2000.1 Most of Alamo's housing is recent: only 18% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 19% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Hidalgo County as a whole (18% built before 1980).1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Alamo are of similar age: median build years 1998 and 1995.1
Alamo has a mixed housing stock: 54% detached houses, 2% attached or townhouse units and 4% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 35% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call. 74% of occupied homes in Alamo are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Alamo is valued at $145,100 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Hidalgo County the median is $140,900, so Alamo 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.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Mcallen Miller Intl Ap) averages 0.8 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 177 days a year reach 90°F and 40 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 22 inches.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 4,989 cooling degree days against 453 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. The coast is about 57 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5
Alamo sits in IECC climate zone 1A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Alamo are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
