Census and NOAA figures for the city of Universal City in Bexar County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Universal City was built in 1984, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Bexar County median of 1990.1 Universal City's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 8% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 37%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Bexar County as a whole (36% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied homes in Universal City are older than rentals: a median build year of 1982 against 1986.1 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 Universal City is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 26% 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 Universal City are owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Universal City is valued at $269,600 (ACS), close to the Texas median of $283,800. Within Bexar County the median is $262,200, so Universal City sits close to it.1
The San Antonio Intl Ap station averages 14 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 122 days a year reach 90°F and 18 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 32 inches, with 9 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.2 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 3,148 cooling degree days against 1,438 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.
