Census and NOAA figures for the borough of Kennett Square in Chester County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the borough of Kennett Square was built in 1957, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Pennsylvania median of 1965. That is older than the Chester County median of 1983.1 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 Kennett Square are of similar age: median build years 1959 and 1956.1 Kennett Square has a mixed housing stock: 53% detached houses, 15% attached or townhouse units and 22% in buildings of five or more units.1
56% of occupied homes in Kennett Square are owner-occupied, below the Pennsylvania share of 69%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Kennett Square is valued at $402,700 (ACS), above the Pennsylvania median of $254,500. Within Chester County the median is $485,600, so Kennett Square sits below 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 Avondale 2 N station averages 109 nights a year at or below 32°F and 31 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.
Hot days are uncommon: about 8 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 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 dominates the year: about 5,358 heating degree days against 778 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.
