Census and NOAA figures for the community of Air Force Academy in El Paso County, not the metro, with a source for each.

That is older than the El Paso County median of 1989.1 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. Renters are the clear majority in Air Force Academy: only 0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, below the Colorado share of 66%.1 Winters are long: the Colorado Springs Muni Ap station averages 160 nights a year at or below 32°F and 68 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.
Summer heat is moderate: about 23 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 32 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 5,888 heating degree days against 608 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. Air Force Academy sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4 Building permits in Air Force Academy are normally issued by the county, as this is an unincorporated community.5,6 As an unincorporated community, permits and inspections run through the county.
