Local housing stock
Of the 43,528 homes in Longmont, about 20,758 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1991; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Those older houses carry the city's most exposed plumbing, while about a quarter of all homes are in apartment buildings where a vacant unit's leak reaches its neighbors.
Climate & seasonal risk
Cold reaches furthest into an empty building in January, when the normal low in Longmont is 14.4 degrees, and 5 months of the year dip below freezing at night; the wettest month is May, with 2.53 of 16.08 inches, rain recorded at LONGMONT 1.8 E 1.2 miles away and temperatures at LONGMONT 2 ESE 1.2 miles away. By November the normal low has fallen to 23.5 degrees, so the older houses here meet hard frost weeks before the coldest month arrives.
