Victoria Housing Stock

The median Victoria home dates to 1980, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 46 years old. A lot of these homes are on their second or third system by now. The ductwork is usually original, and leaky joints are common. About 15,000 households here own their home, 60.6% of the occupied total. The median home value is $193,200, and median household income is $68,233. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.

NOAA storm reports for Victoria County show 4 hail days and 10 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 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.
