Census and NOAA figures for the city of Winston-Salem in Forsyth County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Winston-Salem was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the North Carolina median of 1991.1 About 48% of Winston-Salem's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 12% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Winston-Salem are of similar age: median build years 1982 and 1982.1 Housing in Winston-Salem is mostly detached single-family: 62% of units, with 26% 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.
56% of occupied homes in Winston-Salem are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Winston-Salem is valued at $233,800 (ACS), below the North Carolina median of $288,900.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Winston Salem Rynlds Ap station averages 64 nights a year at or below 32°F and 8 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 33 days a year at or above 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 43 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 3,497 heating degree days against 1,513 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.
