The typical home in Gallipolis was built in 1960, older than the Ohio median of 1970. Nearly half of the homes here (49.7%) went up before 1960. Houses that age are where we find empty walls and a few inches of old insulation in the attic, if any. Inside Gallipolis the housing is older than Gallia County as a whole, where the median is 1981.

Gallipolis is a small place, so these survey estimates carry wider margins of error than the county figures.

Climate zone and the attic target

Gallia County is in climate zone 4A under both Ohio's residential code [4] and the 2021 model energy code [5]. 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 [6]. What that means for your attic.
