Census and NOAA figures for the city of Alvin in Brazoria County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Alvin was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992.1 Alvin's housing is newer than the national mix: 42% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 19% date from 2010 or later.1 A large share of newer homes means many systems are still inside a warranty; checking that comes before any repair quote. Owner-occupied homes in Alvin are newer than rentals: a median build year of 1989 against 1981.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Alvin has a mixed housing stock: 56% detached houses, 2% attached or townhouse units and 24% in buildings of five or more units.1 61% of occupied homes in Alvin are owner-occupied (63% statewide).1 The median owner-occupied home in Alvin is valued at $228,700 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible.
Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Houston Hobby Ap) averages 4.2 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Heat is the governing season: about 100 days a year reach 90°F and 3 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 about 56 inches, with 17 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Cooling dominates the year: about 3,362 cooling degree days against 1,098 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates.
Alvin is about 15 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote. Alvin sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Alvin are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
