The orange dot is Nelsonville, home base.* ## Gallia County homes, by the numbers - **1981**: Median year Gallia County homes were built [1] - **21%**: Built before 1960 (Ohio: 37.7%) - **10.1%**: Built in 1939 or earlier - **13,464**: Homes (housing units) The typical home in Gallia County was built in 1981. Ohio's median is 1970. 21% went up before 1960. Newer homes usually have some insulation, but ENERGY STAR says 9 out of 10 U.S. homes are under-insulated [2], and crawl space insulation is often the first thing to fall. **When was your house built?** The [Gallia County Auditor's website](https://auditor.gallianet.net/) (use its property search) [3] lists the year built for most homes. Look up your address and tell us when you call; the age of the house tells us a lot about what is in the walls and attic. ## How Gallia County heats | Heating fuel | Share of occupied homes | |---|---| | Electricity | 49.5% | | Propane (bottled or tank gas) | 22.1% | | Utility gas | 19.2% | | Wood | 7.2% | | Fuel oil or kerosene | 0.7% | | Other fuel | 0.5% | | No fuel used | 0.5% | *How occupied homes in Gallia County are heated, share of households. Fuels under 0.5% not shown.* The most common heating fuel in Gallia County is electricity (49.5%), well above Ohio's 26%. With electric heat, every bit of heat that leaks through the attic shows up on the electric bill. 30.3% heat with propane, fuel oil, wood or coal: homes off the gas line, where you buy fuel by the tank, the gallon or the cord. Insulation stretches every fill. [1] [4] ## Climate zone and the attic target Gallia County is in climate zone **4A** under both Ohio's residential code [5] and the 2021 model energy code [6]. Either way, the attic advice is the same: ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 in an uninsulated attic and adding R-49 where there are already 3 to 4 inches, for zones 4 and 5 alike [7].
