The stock
What Cicero's housing is made of.
98.5% of Cicero's homes predate 1980. 80.0% carry asphalt-shingle roofs, 72.8% are masonry-walled (not a siding market), and 92.3% have a full or partial basement. 88.7% are owner-occupied.
Flood exposure: 0 homes sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while 1,712 (12.5%) carry a First Street flood factor of 5+ — water risk beyond the mapped floodplain.
The read for contractors
The 10,500–11,000 homes at 25+ years with no roof permit on file are where Cicero's replacement cycle is furthest along — that cohort, minus fresh permits, is the campaign surface.

Re-roof waves
Cicero's permit history has a shape.
Roof permits in Cicero cluster into waves — the county file shows the biggest recent years to the right. Homes that didn't replace during a wave are aging on the same clock as the neighbors that did.
The read for contractors
Campaign the non-replacers inside a past wave's footprint — demand that already proved itself once tends to prove itself again.
