Census and NOAA figures for the city of Decatur in Wise County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Decatur was built in 1988, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Wise County median of 1996.1 Decatur's housing is newer than the national mix: 38% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 15% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 32%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Wise County as a whole (25% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Decatur are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1988 against 1984.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Decatur is mostly detached single-family: 74% of units, with 12% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Decatur are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Decatur is valued at $284,500 (ACS), close to the Texas median of $283,800. Within Wise County the median is $304,900, so Decatur sits below it.1
The Denton Muni Ap station averages 52 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 104 days a year reach 90°F and 22 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 36 inches, with 11 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,637 heating and 2,475 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Decatur sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Decatur are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
