Census and NOAA figures for the city of Rawlins in Carbon County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the city of Rawlins was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wyoming median of 1981. That is in line with the Carbon County median of 1973.1 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: 71% of Rawlins's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010. The largest single share, 28%, dates from 1940-1959. That makes it much the same age as Carbon County as a whole (67% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1940s and 1950s, contractors routinely check for original cast-iron drains, two-wire electrical and undersized panels before pricing a remodel.
Housing in Rawlins is mostly detached single-family: 65% of units, with 12% in buildings of five or more units. Mobile and manufactured homes are 11% of 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 Rawlins are owner-occupied, in line with the Wyoming share of 72%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Rawlins is valued at $217,100 (ACS), below the Wyoming median of $309,700. Within Carbon County the median is $222,700, so Rawlins 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.
Winters are long: the Rawlins Muni Ap station averages 192 nights a year at or below 32°F and 94 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. Summer heat is moderate: about 15 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 9 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
Heating dominates the year: about 8,168 heating degree days against 224 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. Rawlins sits in IECC climate zone 6B (Cold).4 Building permits in Rawlins are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
