Pomeroy homes, by the numbers
Half the homes in Pomeroy were built in 1939 or earlier. More than half of the homes here (68.4%) 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 Pomeroy the housing is older than Meigs County as a whole, where the median is 1978.
Pomeroy is a small place, so these survey estimates carry wider margins of error than the county figures.

When was your house built? The Meigs County Auditor's website (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.
Climate zone and the attic target
Under Ohio's residential code, Meigs County is in climate zone 5A [4]. The 2021 and 2024 model energy codes moved it to zone 4A [5], but Ohio has not adopted them. 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.
