The median home in the city of Douglas was built in 1969, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Arizona median of 1992. That is older than the Cochise County median of 1987.1 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: 69% of Douglas's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 5% since 2010. The largest single share, 30%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Cochise County as a whole (38% 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 Douglas are of similar age: median build years 1970 and 1971.1 Housing in Douglas is mostly detached single-family: 74% of units, with 9% 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. 63% of occupied homes in Douglas are owner-occupied, below the Arizona share of 67%.1

The median owner-occupied home in Douglas is valued at $157,700 (ACS), below the Arizona median of $394,500. Within Cochise County the median is $218,300, so Douglas sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Douglas Bisbee Inl Ap station averages 75 nights a year at or below 32°F and 10 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Heat is the governing season: about 111 days a year reach 90°F and 18 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 12 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,679 heating and 1,708 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Douglas sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Douglas are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
