Census and NOAA figures for the borough of Franklin Park in Allegheny County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the borough of Franklin Park was built in 1986, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Pennsylvania median of 1965. That is newer than the Allegheny County median of 1957.1 Franklin Park's housing is newer than the national mix: 35% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 14% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 39%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than Allegheny County as a whole (77% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Franklin Park are of similar age: median build years 1986 and 1985.1
Housing in Franklin Park is mostly detached single-family: 82% of units, with 2% 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 Franklin Park: 92% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Pennsylvania share of 69%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Franklin Park is valued at $485,600 (ACS), above the Pennsylvania median of $254,500. Within Allegheny County the median is $227,600, so Franklin Park sits above it.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 Pittsburgh Intl Ap station averages 114 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 10 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 40 inches, with 6 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 44 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope. Heating dominates the year: about 5,572 heating degree days against 797 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.
Franklin Park sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Franklin Park are normally issued by the borough building department.5,6
