Census and NOAA figures for the city of Garden City in Chatham County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Garden City was built in 1980, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Georgia median of 1992. That is older than the Chatham County median of 1986.1 About 51% of Garden City's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010. The largest single share, 27%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Chatham County as a whole (42% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Garden City has a mixed housing stock: 49% detached houses, 3% attached or townhouse units and 16% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 20% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call.
Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Garden City, with 44% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Georgia share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Garden City is valued at $169,400 (ACS), below the Georgia median of $303,300. Within Chatham County the median is $302,700, so Garden City sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Savannah Intl Ap station averages 21 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3
Summers are hot: about 80 days a year reach 90°F and 2 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 48 inches a year, 14 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 2,596 cooling degree days against 1,675 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. Garden City is about 16 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.
Garden City sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Garden City are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
