The stock
What Rich's housing is made of.
65.3% of Rich's homes predate 1980. 98.3% carry asphalt-shingle roofs, 11.8% are masonry-walled (not a siding market), and 71.3% have a full or partial basement. 86.2% are owner-occupied.
Flood exposure: 185 homes sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while 1,362 (6.1%) carry a First Street flood factor of 5+ — water risk beyond the mapped floodplain.
The read for contractors
The 16,500–17,000 homes at 25+ years with no roof permit on file are where Rich's replacement cycle is furthest along — that cohort, minus fresh permits, is the campaign surface.

Re-roof waves
Rich's permit history has a shape.
Roof permits in Rich 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.
