Census and NOAA figures for the city of Scott in Lafayette Parish, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Scott was built in 1988, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Louisiana median of 1983. That is in line with the Lafayette Parish median of 1988.1 Most of Scott's housing is recent: only 28% of units predate 1980 (U.S. 50%) and 11% were built since 2010. The largest single share, 44%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Lafayette Parish as a whole (36% 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 Scott are of similar age: median build years 1988 and 1988.1
Housing in Scott is mostly detached single-family: 76% of units, with 1% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 19% of 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 Scott: 75% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Louisiana share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Scott is valued at $170,300 (ACS), below the Louisiana median of $216,500. Within Lafayette Parish the median is $242,900, so Scott 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.
The Lafayette Rgnl Ap station averages 11 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Summers are hot: about 91 days a year reach 90°F and 1 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 63 inches, with 19 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.
Cooling dominates the year: about 3,007 cooling degree days against 1,377 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Scott is about 29 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.
Scott sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Scott are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
