Census and NOAA figures for the city of Carthage in Panola County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Carthage was built in 1977, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Panola County median of 1984.1 Owner-occupied homes in Carthage are older than rentals: a median build year of 1972 against 1983.1 Where owner-occupied homes skew older, a repair-versus-replace conversation is the usual starting point rather than a like-for-like swap. Housing in Carthage is mostly detached single-family: 69% of units, with 7% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 9% of units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units.
64% of occupied homes in Carthage are owner-occupied, in line with the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Carthage is valued at $164,200 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Panola County the median is $158,100, so Carthage 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 Longview Wsmo station averages 29 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3
Summers are hot: about 89 days a year reach 90°F and 10 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 50 inches a year, 18 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.
Measurable snow is rare (about 0.4 inches a year).2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,392 cooling degree days against 2,255 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. Carthage sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Hot-Humid).4
Building permits in Carthage are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
