Census and NOAA figures for the city of Emmett in Gem County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Emmett was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Idaho median of 1991. That is older than the Gem County median of 1983.1 Somewhat more of Emmett's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 57% against 50%, with 13% built since 2010. The largest single share, 27%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Gem County as a whole (48% built before 1980).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. Housing in Emmett is mostly detached single-family: 75% of units, with 6% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.
61% of occupied homes in Emmett are owner-occupied, below the Idaho share of 72%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Emmett is valued at $342,000 (ACS), below the Idaho median of $418,600. Within Gem County the median is $428,700, so Emmett 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. Winters are long: the Boise Air Terminal station averages 108 nights a year at or below 32°F and 23 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.
Summers run hot, with about 55 days a year at 90°F or more and 9 at 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. The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 12 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Snowfall averages about 18 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,320 heating degree days against 1,045 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. Emmett sits in IECC climate zone 5B (Cold).4
Building permits in Emmett are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
