Rogers Park Township, measured.
8,041 residential parcels on the official record. Median home built 1931. Every figure below is computed from the county assessor's file, county roof permits, FEMA + First Street flood layers — aggregate only, and never a claim about any specific property.
The stock
What Rogers Park's housing is made of.
96.9% of Rogers Park's homes predate 1980. 69.5% carry asphalt-shingle roofs, 76.9% are masonry-walled (not a siding market), and 98.2% have a full or partial basement. 81.3% are owner-occupied.
Flood exposure: 2 homes sit in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while 1,805 (22.4%) carry a First Street flood factor of 5+ — water risk beyond the mapped floodplain.
The 7,500–8,000 homes at 25+ years with no roof permit on file are where Rogers Park's replacement cycle is furthest along — that cohort, minus fresh permits, is the campaign surface.
Re-roof waves
Rogers Park's permit history has a shape.
Roof permits in Rogers 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.
Campaign the non-replacers inside a past wave's footprint — demand that already proved itself once tends to prove itself again.
| Year | Roof permits |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 58 |

| 2023 | 41 |
