Census and NOAA figures for the city of Milford in Sussex County, not the metro, with a source for each.
Milford's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 17% date from 2010 or later.1 Owner-occupied homes in Milford are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2002 against 1978.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components. Milford has a mixed housing stock: 57% detached houses, 5% attached or townhouse units and 29% in buildings of five or more units.1
Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Milford, with 51% of occupied homes owner-occupied (73% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Milford is valued at $296,900 (ACS), below the Delaware median of $352,000.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Georgetown Sussex Co Ap station averages 83 nights a year at or below 32°F and 15 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summers bring about 30 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 11 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 dominates the year: about 4,070 heating degree days against 1,396 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.
Milford is about 6 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote. Building permits in Milford are normally issued by the city building department.4
