Census and NOAA figures for the city of Kenton in Hardin County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The stock is old by national standards: 72% of Kenton's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 4% since 2010. The largest single share, 34%, dates from before 1940. That makes it a newer stock than Hardin County as a whole (67% 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 homes in Kenton are older than rentals: a median build year of 1950 against 1976.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap.
Housing in Kenton is mostly detached single-family: 73% of units, with 10% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 11% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 72% of occupied homes in Kenton are owner-occupied, above the Ohio share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Kenton is valued at $107,100 (ACS), below the Ohio median of $214,800. Within Hardin County the median is $151,200, so Kenton 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.
Winters are long: the Lima Allen Co Ap station averages 116 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. Summer heat is moderate: about 14 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 36 inches, with 7 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Heating dominates the year: about 5,769 heating degree days against 847 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. Kenton sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Kenton are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
