Clarksville Housing Stock
The median Clarksville home dates to 1996, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 30 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Owners live in 56.6% of occupied homes, roughly 37,000 households. Homes here have a median value of $236,100 and households a median income of $66,786. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
NOAA storm reports for Montgomery County show 6 hail days and 31 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 3 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost. Montgomery County also had 2 tornado days in that period.
