Census and NOAA figures for the city of Mexico in Audrain County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Mexico was built in 1965, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Missouri median of 1978. That is older than the Audrain County median of 1970.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 73% of Mexico's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 6% since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Audrain County as a whole (65% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows.
Owner-occupied and rented homes in Mexico are of similar age: median build years 1965 and 1968.1 Housing in Mexico is mostly detached single-family: 77% of units, with 7% 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. 62% of occupied homes in Mexico are owner-occupied, below the Missouri share of 68%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Mexico is valued at $139,800 (ACS), below the Missouri median of $230,300. Within Audrain County the median is $143,100, so Mexico sits close to it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. Winters are long: the Mexico station averages 113 nights a year at or below 32°F and 42 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 38 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 44 inches a year, 11 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. Heating dominates the year: about 5,168 heating degree days against 1,275 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.
Mexico sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Mexico are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
