Census and NOAA figures for the city of Albany in Dougherty County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Albany was built in 1974, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992.1 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. Somewhat more of Albany's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 63% against 50%, with 4% built since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Albany are older than rentals: a median build year of 1973 against 1977.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Albany has a mixed housing stock: 56% detached houses, 3% attached or townhouse units and 14% in buildings of five or more units.1 Renters are the clear majority in Albany: only 38% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (66% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Albany is valued at $124,300 (ACS), below the Georgia median of $303,300.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Albany Sw Ga Rgnl Ap station averages 28 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 106 days a year reach 90°F and 3 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, 13 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.
Cooling dominates the year: about 2,692 cooling degree days against 1,684 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. The coast is about 102 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Albany sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6
Building permits in Albany are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
