Census and NOAA figures for the city of Pana in Christian County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Pana was built in 1955, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Illinois median of 1971. That is older than the Christian County median of 1963.1 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: 81% of Pana's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 1% since 2010. The largest single share, 36%, dates from before 1940. That makes it a newer stock than Christian County as a whole (75% built before 1980).1 Pre-1940 houses often have unlined chimneys, plaster walls and balloon framing, which change the scope of almost every trade.
Housing in Pana is mostly detached single-family: 76% of units, with 13% 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. 65% of occupied homes in Pana are owner-occupied, in line with the Illinois share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Pana is valued at $77,900 (ACS), below the Illinois median of $263,300. Within Christian County the median is $115,500, so Pana 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 Pana station averages 114 nights a year at or below 32°F and 39 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 34 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 42 inches a year, 11 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 5,288 heating degree days against 1,172 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. Pana sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Pana are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
