The median home in the city of Corinth was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Mississippi median of 1986. That is older than the Alcorn County median of 1981.1 Somewhat more of Corinth's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 59% against 50%, with 10% built since 2010. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Alcorn County as a whole (48% built before 1980).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 and rented homes in Corinth are of similar age: median build years 1976 and 1977.1

Housing in Corinth is mostly detached single-family: 66% 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. Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Corinth, with 50% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the Mississippi share of 70%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Corinth is valued at $177,100 (ACS), close to the Mississippi median of $169,800. Within Alcorn County the median is $142,100, so Corinth sits above it.1

The Selmer station averages 74 nights a year at or below 32°F and 15 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers run hot, with about 59 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 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 59 inches, with 18 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. Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,444 heating and 1,782 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Corinth sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4

Building permits in Corinth are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
