Census and NOAA figures for the city of McAlester in Pittsburg County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of McAlester was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Oklahoma median of 1980. That is older than the Pittsburg County median of 1979.1 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. Somewhat more of McAlester's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 64% against 50%, with 8% built since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Pittsburg County as a whole (53% 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 McAlester are of similar age: median build years 1974 and 1972.1 Housing in McAlester is mostly detached single-family: 80% of units, with 10% 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. 58% of occupied homes in McAlester are owner-occupied, below the Oklahoma share of 66%.1
The median owner-occupied home in McAlester is valued at $151,600 (ACS), below the Oklahoma median of $199,800. Within Pittsburg County the median is $156,900, so McAlester sits close to it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Mcalester Rgnl Ap station averages 66 nights a year at or below 32°F and 13 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Summers run hot, with about 73 days a year at 90°F or more and 12 at 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. Rainfall is substantial: about 43 inches a year, 13 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 and cooling loads are both real: about 3,079 heating and 2,133 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 McAlester sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in McAlester are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
