About homes and winters in area code 319
Area code 319 covers eastern Iowa, from Cedar Rapids and Iowa City to Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Marion, Coralville, Burlington and Keokuk. It is an old housing stock: of about 350,000 homes and apartments, roughly 60% were built before 1980 and 21% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 69% are single-family detached houses.
Cedar Rapids, the seat of Linn County, is the second most populous city in Iowa, with 137,710 people at the 2020 census. It lies on both banks of the Cedar River, 20 miles north of Iowa City.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport, IA show about 6,824 heating degree days a year, a January average of 19.6°F. Water that soaks into brick freezes, expands and thaws again many times each winter; over the years that cracks crowns and loosens mortar joints, so a cap and a sound crown are worth the money.
The most common way to heat a home here is utility gas (about 64% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by electricity at about 22%. Wood is the main heat in fewer than 2 in 100 homes, so most fireplaces here are for cool evenings, and gas fireplaces and inserts are common. Energy codes place it in IECC climate zone 5A (83%), 6A (17%). NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
