The median home in the village of Rib Mountain was built in 1984, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is newer than the Marathon County median of 1978.1 Rib Mountain's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 8% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 43%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Marathon 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 and rented homes in Rib Mountain are of similar age: median build years 1984 and 1987.1

Housing in Rib Mountain is mostly detached single-family: 89% of units, with 3% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Rib Mountain: 87% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Rib Mountain is valued at $255,900 (ACS), close to the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Marathon County the median is $219,600, so Rib Mountain sits above it.1

Winters are long: the Wausau Dwtn Ap station averages 163 nights a year at or below 32°F and 90 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 5 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 34 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3

Snowfall averages about 64 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 8,174 heating degree days against 422 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.

Rib Mountain sits in IECC climate zone 6A (Cold).4 Building permits in Rib Mountain are normally issued by the village building department.5,6
