Census and NOAA figures for the city of Fitchburg in Dane County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Fitchburg was built in 1996, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wisconsin median of 1975.1 Most of Fitchburg's housing is recent: only 27% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 22% were built since 2010.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Fitchburg are of similar age: median build years 1995 and 1998.1
Most housing units in Fitchburg are not detached houses: 50% are in buildings of five or more units and only 38% are detached single-family homes.1 With most units in multi-family buildings, condo and HOA approvals sit alongside the permit for interior work. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Fitchburg, with 48% of occupied homes owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Fitchburg is valued at $417,200 (ACS), above the Wisconsin median of $266,500.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Winters are long: the Madison Dane Rgnl Ap station averages 147 nights a year at or below 32°F and 71 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 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 37 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 52 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope. Heating dominates the year: about 7,138 heating degree days against 627 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.
Fitchburg sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Fitchburg are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
