Census and NOAA figures for the city of Vernon in Wilbarger County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Vernon was built in 1963, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Texas median of 1992. That is in line with the Wilbarger County median of 1965.1 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: 77% of Vernon's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 4% since 2010. The largest single share, 31%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it much the same age as Wilbarger County as a whole (74% 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 homes in Vernon are older than rentals: a median build year of 1962 against 1971.1 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 Vernon is mostly detached single-family: 78% of units, with 7% 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.
63% of occupied homes in Vernon are owner-occupied, in line with the Texas share of 63%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Vernon is valued at $87,000 (ACS), below the Texas median of $283,800. Within Wilbarger County the median is $89,400, so Vernon 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 Vernon station averages 71 nights a year at or below 32°F and 11 at or below 20°F.2,3 A real freeze season means masonry, roofing and exterior sealing are specified for freeze-thaw cycles.
Heat is the governing season: about 102 days a year reach 90°F and 28 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 moderate, about 28 inches.2,3 Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,999 heating and 2,466 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3
Vernon sits in IECC climate zone 3B (Hot-Dry).4 Building permits in Vernon are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
