Census and NOAA figures for the city of Willoughby in Lake County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Willoughby was built in 1976, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Ohio median of 1970. That is newer than the Lake County median of 1972.1 Somewhat more of Willoughby's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 58% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than Lake County as a whole (63% 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 Willoughby are of similar age: median build years 1977 and 1976.1
Willoughby has a mixed housing stock: 51% detached houses, 9% attached or townhouse units and 30% in buildings of five or more units.1 63% of occupied homes in Willoughby are owner-occupied, below the Ohio share of 67%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Willoughby is valued at $216,900 (ACS), close to the Ohio median of $214,800. Within Lake County the median is $214,100, so Willoughby sits close to it.1 The Cleveland Burke Ap station averages 92 nights a year at or below 32°F and 29 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Hot days are uncommon: about 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 33 inches, with 5 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Heating dominates the year: about 5,513 heating degree days against 925 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.
Willoughby is about 2 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter. Willoughby sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Willoughby are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
