Census and NOAA figures for the city of Sacramento in Sacramento County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Sacramento was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the California median of 1976.1 About 54% of Sacramento's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 8% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Sacramento are of similar age: median build years 1976 and 1979.1 Sacramento has a mixed housing stock: 59% detached houses, 7% attached or townhouse units and 24% in buildings of five or more units.1
Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Sacramento, with 52% of occupied homes owner-occupied (56% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Sacramento is valued at $506,300 (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. Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Sacramento 5 Ese) averages 4 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against.
Summers are hot: about 90 days a year reach 90°F and 23 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. Annual precipitation is low, about 19 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 2,138 heating and 1,576 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 The coast is about 75 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Sacramento sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).6 Building permits in Sacramento are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
