Census and NOAA figures for the city of Kenosha in Kenosha County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Kenosha was built in 1970, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wisconsin median of 1975.1 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. Somewhat more of Kenosha's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 6% built since 2010.1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Owner-occupied homes in Kenosha are older than rentals: a median build year of 1966 against 1974.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Kenosha has a mixed housing stock: 57% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 23% in buildings of five or more units.1 59% of occupied homes in Kenosha are owner-occupied (68% statewide).1
The median owner-occupied home in Kenosha is valued at $225,200 (ACS), below the Wisconsin median of $266,500.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Winters are long: the Kenosha Rgnl Ap station averages 135 nights a year at or below 32°F and 60 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.
Summer heat is moderate: about 11 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 6,447 heating degree days against 722 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.
Kenosha is about 3 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. Kenosha sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Kenosha are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
