Census and NOAA figures for the city of Merced in Merced County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Merced was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the California median of 1976.1 Merced's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 10% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in Merced are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1987 against 1983.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Merced is mostly detached single-family: 66% of units, with 18% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Merced, with 46% of occupied homes owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Merced is valued at $372,600 (ACS), below the California median of $734,700.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The coast is about 80 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.2,3 Merced sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Merced are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
