Census and NOAA figures for the city of Corpus Christi in Nueces County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Corpus Christi was built in 1982, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 About 46% of Corpus Christi's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 14% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Corpus Christi are of similar age: median build years 1982 and 1984.1 Housing in Corpus Christi is mostly detached single-family: 64% of units, with 22% 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.
58% of occupied homes in Corpus Christi are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Corpus Christi is valued at $210,400 (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 (Corpus Christi Nas) 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.
Summers are hot: about 96 days a year reach 90°F and 0 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 35 inches, with 10 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Measurable snow is rare (about 0 inches a year).2,3
Cooling dominates the year: about 4,239 cooling degree days against 583 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. Corpus Christi is about 3 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.
Corpus Christi sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Corpus Christi are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
