The stock

What Hyde Park's housing is made of.

94.5% of Hyde Park's homes predate 1980. 81.7% carry asphalt-shingle roofs, 69.8% are masonry-walled (not a siding market), and 93.8% have a full or partial basement. 72.8% are owner-occupied.

Flood exposure: 113 homes sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while 6,041 (9.4%) carry a First Street flood factor of 5+ — water risk beyond the mapped floodplain.

The read for contractors

The 61,000–61,500 homes at 25+ years with no roof permit on file are where Hyde Park's replacement cycle is furthest along — that cohort, minus fresh permits, is the campaign surface.

Re-roof waves

Hyde Park's permit history has a shape.

Roof permits in Hyde Park 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.
