Census and NOAA figures for the village of Coal City in Grundy County, not the metro, with a source for each.
About 47% of Coal City's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 10% since 2010. The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Grundy County as a whole (42% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Housing in Coal City is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 2% 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.
Home ownership is the norm in Coal City: 77% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Coal City is valued at $201,600 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Grundy County the median is $271,700, so Coal 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. Winters are long: the Channahon Dresden Isl Dam station averages 127 nights a year at or below 32°F and 53 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.
Summer heat is moderate: about 20 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 37 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,976 heating degree days against 954 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.
Coal City sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Coal City are normally issued by the village building department.5,6
