Census and NOAA figures for the city of Poteau in Le Flore County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Poteau was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Oklahoma median of 1980. That is older than the Le Flore County median of 1985.1 About 52% of Poteau's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 14% since 2010. The largest single share, 33%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Le Flore County as a whole (43% 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 Poteau are of similar age: median build years 1979 and 1979.1
Housing in Poteau is mostly detached single-family: 77% of units, with 10% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 8% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 62% of occupied homes in Poteau are owner-occupied, below the Oklahoma share of 66%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Poteau is valued at $157,400 (ACS), below the Oklahoma median of $199,800. Within Le Flore County the median is $135,700, so Poteau sits above it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
The Ft Smith Rgnl Ap station averages 63 nights a year at or below 32°F and 9 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles. Summers are hot: about 78 days a year reach 90°F and 11 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.
Rainfall is substantial: about 47 inches a year, 14 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 3,098 heating and 2,177 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Poteau sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4
Building permits in Poteau are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
