Census and NOAA figures for the city of Stoughton in Dane County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Stoughton was built in 1979, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the Wisconsin median of 1975. That is older than the Dane County median of 1986.1 About 51% of Stoughton's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 8% since 2010. The largest single share, 29%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than Dane County as a whole (43% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Stoughton are of similar age: median build years 1980 and 1981.1
Stoughton has a mixed housing stock: 54% detached houses, 14% attached or townhouse units and 20% in buildings of five or more units.1 67% of occupied homes in Stoughton are owner-occupied, in line with the Wisconsin share of 68%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Stoughton is valued at $293,500 (ACS), above the Wisconsin median of $266,500. Within Dane County the median is $394,800, so Stoughton sits below 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.
Winters are long: the Madison Dane Rgnl Ap station averages 147 nights a year at or below 32°F and 71 at or below 20°F.2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Hot days are uncommon: about 9 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 37 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 52 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope. Heating dominates the year: about 7,138 heating degree days against 627 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Stoughton sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).4 Building permits in Stoughton are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
