## Meigs County homes, by the numbers

- **1978**: Median year Meigs County homes were built [1]
- **31.9%**: Built before 1960 (Ohio: 37.7%)
- **22%**: Built in 1939 or earlier
- **10,675**: Homes (housing units)

The typical home in Meigs County was built in 1978. Ohio's median is 1970. About one home in three (31.9%) went up before 1960. Those are the houses where we most often find empty walls and thin, settled attic insulation.

**When was your house built?** The [Meigs County Auditor's website](https://www.meigscountyauditor.org/) (use its property search) [2] lists the year built for most homes. Look up your address and tell us when you call; the age of the house tells us a lot about what is in the walls and attic.

| Heating fuel | Share of occupied homes |

*How occupied homes in Meigs County are heated, share of households. Fuels under 0.5% not shown.*

The most common heating fuel in Meigs County is electricity (49.4%), well above Ohio's 26%. With electric heat, every bit of heat that leaks through the attic shows up on the electric bill. 13.5% heat with propane, about double Ohio's 5.6%. [1] [3]

## Climate zone and the attic target

Under Ohio's residential code, Meigs County is in climate zone **5A** [4]. The 2021 and 2024 model energy codes moved it to zone 4A [5], but Ohio has not adopted them. Either way, the attic advice is the same: ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 in an uninsulated attic and adding R-49 where there are already 3 to 4 inches, for zones 4 and 5 alike [6].
