Census and NOAA figures for the city of Van Buren in Crawford County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Van Buren was built in 1990, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Arkansas median of 1987. That is in line with the Crawford County median of 1991.1 Van Buren's housing is newer than the national mix: 36% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 7% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it much the same age as Crawford County as a whole (35% 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 Van Buren are of similar age: median build years 1990 and 1991.1
Housing in Van Buren is mostly detached single-family: 77% of units, with 10% 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. 66% of occupied homes in Van Buren are owner-occupied, in line with the Arkansas share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Van Buren is valued at $181,500 (ACS), close to the Arkansas median of $188,000. Within Crawford County the median is $182,800, so Van Buren sits close to it.1
The Ft Smith Rgnl Ap station averages 63 nights a year at or below 32°F and 9 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers are hot: about 78 days a year reach 90°F and 11 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.
Rainfall is substantial: about 47 inches a year, 14 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,098 heating and 2,177 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Van Buren sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Van Buren are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
