Census and NOAA figures for the city of Forest Hill in Tarrant County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Forest Hill was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Tarrant County median of 1990.1 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. The stock is old by national standards: 74% of Forest Hill's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 12% since 2010. The largest single share, 56%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Tarrant County as a whole (33% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows.
Owner-occupied and rented homes in Forest Hill are of similar age: median build years 1972 and 1969.1 Housing in Forest Hill is mostly detached single-family: 91% 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. 72% of occupied homes in Forest Hill are owner-occupied, above the Texas share of 63%.1
The median owner-occupied home in Forest Hill is valued at $187,400 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Tarrant County the median is $323,900, so Forest Hill sits below it.1 With values below the state median, phased scopes - the essential work first - are a common way to keep a project sensible. The Arlington Muni Ap station averages 36 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 106 days a year reach 90°F and 22 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 2,824 cooling degree days against 2,126 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. Forest Hill sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4
Building permits in Forest Hill are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
