The median home in the city of Prairie View was built in 1987, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is older than the Waller County median of 1998.1 Owner-occupied and rented homes in Prairie View are of similar age: median build years 1989 and 1986.1 Most housing units in Prairie View are not detached houses: 36% are in buildings of five or more units and only 33% are detached single-family homes. Mobile and manufactured homes are 9% of units.1 Manufactured homes take different roofing, skirting, anchoring and addition details from site-built houses, so say which kind of home it is when you call.

Renters are the clear majority in Prairie View: only 25% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, below the Texas share of 63%.1 The Houston Hooks Mem Ap station averages 14 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 111 days a year reach 90°F and 8 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 51 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. Cooling dominates the year: about 3,146 cooling degree days against 1,368 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.

The coast is about 65 miles away, so storm systems arrive without salt air.4,5 Prairie View sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).6 Building permits in Prairie View are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
