Census and NOAA figures for the city of Elkhorn in Walworth County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Elkhorn was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is newer than the Walworth County median of 1977.1 Elkhorn'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, 28%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Walworth County as a whole (54% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied homes in Elkhorn are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1994 against 1983.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Elkhorn has a mixed housing stock: 47% detached houses, 12% attached or townhouse units and 27% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Elkhorn, with 55% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Elkhorn is valued at $273,600 (ACS), close to the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Walworth County the median is $302,700, so Elkhorn sits below it.1 Winters are long: the Burlington station averages 155 nights a year at or below 32°F and 74 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions.
Hot days are uncommon: about 7 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 35 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 7,369 heating degree days against 500 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.
Elkhorn is about 37 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter. Elkhorn sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Elkhorn are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
