Census and NOAA figures for the city of Glenwood in Mills County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Glenwood was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Iowa median of 1972. That is in line with the Mills County median of 1972.1 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 Glenwood are older than rentals: a median build year of 1970 against 1975.1 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 Glenwood is mostly detached single-family: 72% of units, with 10% 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 Glenwood: 76% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Iowa share of 72%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Glenwood is valued at $206,200 (ACS), close to the Iowa median of $208,000. Within Mills County the median is $237,800, so Glenwood sits below it.1
Winters are long: the Omaha Eppley Airfield station averages 135 nights a year at or below 32°F and 61 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 33 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 27 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 5,833 heating degree days against 1,294 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.
Glenwood sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Glenwood are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
