Census and NOAA figures for the city of Brownsville in Cameron County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Brownsville was built in 1995, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Texas median of 1992.1 Most of Brownsville's housing is recent: only 30% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 19% were built since 2010.1 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 Brownsville are of similar age: median build years 1997 and 1994.1
Housing in Brownsville is mostly detached single-family: 68% of units, with 15% 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. 62% of occupied homes in Brownsville are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Brownsville is valued at $139,900 (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.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Brownsville) averages 1 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 140 days a year reach 90°F and 2 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 27 inches.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 4,542 cooling degree days against 423 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. Brownsville is about 21 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
Brownsville sits in IECC climate zone 1A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Brownsville are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
