Census and NOAA figures for the city of Elgin in Bastrop County, not the metro, with a source for each.
Elgin's housing is newer than the national mix: 40% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 25% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 25%, dates from 2010 or later. That makes it a newer stock than Bastrop County as a whole (22% built before 1980).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 Elgin are newer than rentals: a median build year of 2003 against 1980.1 With owner-occupied homes skewing newer, many requests are first-time replacements of original builder-grade components.
Housing in Elgin is mostly detached single-family: 83% of units, with 3% 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. 71% of occupied homes in Elgin are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Elgin is valued at $326,400 (ACS), above the Texas median of $283,800. Within Bastrop County the median is $314,800, so Elgin sits close to 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.
The Austin Bergstrom Ap station averages 33 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 124 days a year reach 90°F and 24 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 36 inches, with 10 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Cooling dominates the year: about 2,996 cooling degree days against 1,718 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. Elgin sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4 Building permits in Elgin are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
