Census and NOAA figures for the city of Bardstown in Nelson County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Bardstown was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Kentucky median of 1982. That is older than the Nelson County median of 1992.1 Bardstown's housing is newer than the national mix: 43% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 12% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 33%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Nelson County as a whole (34% 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. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Bardstown are of similar age: median build years 1985 and 1983.1
Housing in Bardstown is mostly detached single-family: 70% 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. 61% of occupied homes in Bardstown are owner-occupied, below the Kentucky share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Bardstown is valued at $203,500 (ACS), close to the Kentucky median of $205,600. Within Nelson County the median is $238,000, so Bardstown sits below it.1
The Louisville Intl Ap station averages 74 nights a year at or below 32°F and 18 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers bring about 43 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 48 inches a year, 13 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.
Snowfall averages about 13 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 3,936 heating degree days against 1,742 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. Bardstown sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4
