Census and NOAA figures for the village of Hazel Crest in Cook County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the village of Hazel Crest was built in 1968, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Illinois median of 1971. That is newer than the Cook County median of 1961.1 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. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Hazel Crest are of similar age: median build years 1969 and 1969.1 Housing in Hazel Crest is mostly detached single-family: 77% of units, with 12% 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 Hazel Crest: 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Hazel Crest is valued at $185,300 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Cook County the median is $324,500, so Hazel Crest 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 Chicago Midway Ap station averages 106 nights a year at or below 32°F and 41 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 34 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,753 heating degree days against 1,111 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.
