Census and NOAA figures for the city of Wilmore in Jessamine County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Wilmore was built in 1989, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Kentucky median of 1982. That is older than the Jessamine County median of 1992.1 Wilmore's housing is newer than the national mix: 37% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 10% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 41%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Jessamine County as a whole (30% 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 Wilmore are of similar age: median build years 1991 and 1991.1
Housing in Wilmore is mostly detached single-family: 61% of units, with 3% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Wilmore, with 51% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Kentucky share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Wilmore is valued at $248,900 (ACS), above the Kentucky median of $205,600. Within Jessamine County the median is $268,100, so Wilmore sits below it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
The Lexington Bluegrass Ap station averages 90 nights a year at or below 32°F and 26 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 25 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 50 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.
Snowfall averages about 14 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 4,432 heating degree days against 1,289 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. Wilmore sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Wilmore are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
