Weather and Building Across the State

Heat

Jeffersonville, New Albany, Clarksville and 2 other listed places share the most hot days of all 132 Indiana places listed here: about 43 days a year at or above 90°F (NOAA normals, Louisville Intl. Airport, KY station). None of the 132 listed places reach 90°F on 60 or more days a year. For most of the state, heat is a summer-month issue rather than a constant one.

Freezing Nights and Snow

Angola has the most freezing nights of all 132 Indiana places listed here: about 145 nights a year at or below 32°F (NOAA normals, Angola, IN station). 51 of 132 listed places average 120 or more freezing nights, when water-carrying units need winterizing or heat for months at a time. Michigan City and La Porte share the most snowfall of the 47 listed Indiana places with this figure: about 65 inches of snow a year (NOAA normals, Laporte, IN station). 38 of 47 places with snowfall normals average 20 inches or more, enough to plan for a plowed path to the units.

Rain

Huntingburg has the most precipitation of all 132 Indiana places listed here: about 52 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA normals, Stendal, IN station). 20 of 132 listed places get 46 inches or more, or 12 or more days with an inch, so firm ground for units and ADA routes matters.

New and Older Housing

Westfield has the highest share of recent housing of the 111 listed Indiana places with this figure: 49.8% of housing units built in 2010 or later (ACS 2020–2024). 29 of 111 listed places are above the U.S. share of 11.4%. That describes the housing stock, not current permits, but it shows where new-home construction has been concentrated; OSHA's toilet table applies to every one of those job sites. East Chicago has the oldest housing of the 127 listed Indiana places with this figure: a median year built of 1939 or earlier (ACS 2020–2024). 50 of 127 listed places have a median year built of 1970 or earlier, where renovation crews in existing buildings are the usual job site.

Climate Regions

Listed places by DOE Building America climate region (county-level, PNNL guide to IECC 2021 zones): Cold (83), Mixed-Humid (48). A state spanning several regions means the right advice depends on the city, which is why each city page has its own figures.

Shoreline Places

6 of 132 listed places have a Census reference point within 5 km (about 3 miles) of the shoreline in the TIGER coastline layer, which includes Great Lakes shores. Beach and waterfront sites need a firm approach for trucks and a firm route for ADA units.

Who Handles Event and Street-Use Rules

Of the 132 Indiana places listed here, 124 are incorporated cities, towns, villages or boroughs and 8 are Census-designated places, unincorporated communities without a municipal government. The rule of thumb for an event on public land or a unit on a street or sidewalk: in an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough government; in an unincorporated community, ask the town or township it sits in, or the county. We do not say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.

1 listed places are independent cities or consolidated city-counties, where one government handles both city and county matters.
