Census and NOAA figures for the city of Pocatello in Bannock County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Pocatello was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Idaho median of 1991.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 66% of Pocatello's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 8% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Pocatello are of similar age: median build years 1970 and 1971.1
Housing in Pocatello is mostly detached single-family: 63% of units, with 11% 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. 64% of occupied homes in Pocatello are owner-occupied (72% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Pocatello is valued at $271,000 (ACS), below the Idaho median of $418,600.1 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 Pocatello Rgnl Ap station averages 167 nights a year at or below 32°F and 65 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 bring about 39 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 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 38 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 6,954 heating degree days against 431 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.
Pocatello sits in IECC climate zone 6B (Cold).4 Building permits in Pocatello are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
