Census and NOAA figures for the city of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Port Arthur was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 Somewhat more of Port Arthur's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 57% against 50%, with 15% built since 2010.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied homes in Port Arthur are older than rentals: a median build year of 1971 against 1981.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Port Arthur is mostly detached single-family: 69% 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 Port Arthur are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Port Arthur is valued at $107,400 (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 (Port Arthur Se Tx Ap) averages 8.4 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 93 days a year reach 90°F and 1 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 62 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 3,076 cooling degree days against 1,262 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.
Port Arthur is about 14 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. Port Arthur sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Port Arthur are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
