Census and NOAA figures for the city of Hillsboro in Montgomery County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Hillsboro was built in 1963, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Illinois median of 1971. That is in line with the Montgomery County median of 1964.1 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 homes in Hillsboro are older than rentals: a median build year of 1961 against 1972.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Hillsboro is mostly detached single-family: 84% 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 Hillsboro: 78% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Hillsboro is valued at $111,700 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Montgomery County the median is $112,300, so Hillsboro sits close to 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 Ramsey station averages 118 nights a year at or below 32°F and 42 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 28 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 42 inches a year, 12 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.
Heating dominates the year: about 5,539 heating degree days against 1,016 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. Building permits in Hillsboro are normally issued by the city building department.4
