The median home in the city of Center was built in 1982, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is in line with the Shelby County median of 1984.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Center are of similar age: median build years 1983 and 1980.1 Housing in Center is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 12% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 13% of 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 Center are owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The Center station averages 42 nights a year at or below 32°F and 3 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 97 days a year reach 90°F and 11 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 about 56 inches, with 18 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. Cooling dominates the year: about 2,485 cooling degree days against 2,241 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.

Center sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Center are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
