About homes and winters in area code 409

Area code 409 covers southeast Texas, from Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange to Kountze, Silsbee, Lumberton, Galveston and Texas City. It is an old housing stock: of about 297,000 homes and apartments, roughly 50% were built before 1980 and 4.7% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 68% are single-family detached houses.

Kountze is the county seat of Hardin County, Texas, in the Big Thicket north of Beaumont.

Winters are mild. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Port Arthur Se Tx Airport, TX show about 1,262 heating degree days a year, a January average of 53.7°F.

The most common way to heat a home here is electricity (about 65% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by utility gas at about 32%. 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 2A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
