The median home in the city of Duncan was built in 1972, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oklahoma median of 1980. That is older than the Stephens County median of 1975.1 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: 69% of Duncan's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010. The largest single share, 36%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Stephens County as a whole (60% 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 Duncan are of similar age: median build years 1972 and 1974.1 Housing in Duncan is mostly detached single-family: 84% of units, with 6% 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. 68% of occupied homes in Duncan are owner-occupied, in line with the Oklahoma share of 66%.1

The median owner-occupied home in Duncan is valued at $131,500 (ACS), below the Oklahoma median of $199,800. Within Stephens County the median is $145,300, so Duncan 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. The Lawton Muni Ap station averages 79 nights a year at or below 32°F and 14 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.

Heat is the governing season: about 102 days a year reach 90°F and 31 reach 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is moderate, about 27 inches.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 3,163 heating and 2,321 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3

Duncan sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Duncan are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
