Census and NOAA figures for the city of Bristol in Bristol city, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Bristol was built in 1967, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Virginia median of 1984. That is in line with the Bristol city median of 1967.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 71% of Bristol's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 2% since 2010. The largest single share, 33%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Bristol city as a whole (71% 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 and rented homes in Bristol are of similar age: median build years 1968 and 1968.1 Housing in Bristol is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 18% 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. 64% of occupied homes in Bristol are owner-occupied, below the Virginia share of 67%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Bristol is valued at $184,100 (ACS), below the Virginia median of $383,700. Within Bristol city the median is $184,100, so Bristol sits close to it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Bristol Tri City Ap station averages 94 nights a year at or below 32°F and 22 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summer heat is moderate: about 23 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 9 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating dominates the year: about 4,150 heating degree days against 1,104 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Bristol sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Bristol are normally issued by the city, which is not part of a county.5,6
