Census and NOAA figures for the city of Fort Worth in Tarrant County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Fort Worth was built in 1994, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Texas median of 1992.1 Most of Fort Worth's housing is recent: only 34% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 23% 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 homes in Fort Worth are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1997 against 1992.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Fort Worth is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 25% 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. 57% of occupied homes in Fort Worth are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Fort Worth is valued at $303,000 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The Ft Worth Meacham Fld station averages 33 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 106 days a year reach 90°F and 24 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 2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,693 cooling degree days against 2,342 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.
