Census and NOAA figures for the city of La Porte in Harris County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of La Porte was built in 1983, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 La Porte's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 12% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in La Porte are of similar age: median build years 1984 and 1981.1 Housing in La Porte is mostly detached single-family: 74% of units, with 14% 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.
71% of occupied homes in La Porte are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in La Porte is valued at $234,600 (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 (Houston Hobby Ap) averages 4.2 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 100 days a year reach 90°F and 3 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 17 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 3,362 cooling degree days against 1,098 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. La Porte 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.
La Porte sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in La Porte are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
