Census and NOAA figures for the city of Upper Arlington in Franklin County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Upper Arlington was built in 1959, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Ohio 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: 84% of Upper Arlington's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 5% since 2010.1 Owner-occupied homes in Upper Arlington are older than rentals: a median build year of 1957 against 1970.1 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 Upper Arlington is mostly detached single-family: 74% of units, with 9% 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. Home ownership is the norm in Upper Arlington: 79% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (67% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Upper Arlington is valued at $595,600 (ACS), above the Ohio median of $214,800.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
Winters are long: the Columbus Ohio State Univ Ap station averages 112 nights a year at or below 32°F and 39 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 17 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
Snowfall averages about 19 inches a year.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,486 heating degree days against 919 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. Upper Arlington sits in IECC climate zone 4A (Cold→ Mixed-Humid).4
